I think your computer name and username can’t be the same, at least it wouldn’t allow me to use the same name during a clean install. Anyhoo, Eilsoe, is GOD your user/login name also? :evil: ---

I read a book once where they talked about some sort of candy, or toffee, and they called it “Taffy”. I had never heard that before, (we dont get “taffy” in South Africa) and had all was related that word to air-headed girls with blonde hair and big boobs (ie: Tiffany, Taffy, Bubbles, Pamela Anderson…ect. If your name is one of those, I apologise. Sterotypes names). Anyway, since my computer can some times be an airhead, and not understand what I am trying to say but then on the other had, be sweet and does, I called it Taffy. ---
