There are plenty of top programs with the Gui I like, or near it. It is just you prefer to continue "doing business" with the same guy. Respect beauty, I am not so sure is relative. Tastes are relative, yes, beauty is not. You can prefer as a matter of tastes to lesson Madonna than Mozart, but I still think Mozart is nearer Beauty than Madonna. Sometyhin absolute is there, I believe. Well, this is off topic, sorry Bye Fernando
