thanks pete,
            you are always a help :)). But i meant it for the ones who does have
troubles. I know how to set it up and i did (but i had to go through alot of
trouble when i was new in this)i was wondering if anyone else was thinking about
it too. And i also agree with about that it has too much modication for a
permanent interface.
thanks for your thoughts
pavel :))
