mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14484 Loc: Canada	Firefighters extinguish three-alarm blaze at Apple's Cupertino campus (San Jose Mercury News) This morning's news said it was in some R&D building. No injuries.

A cookie from your fixed link maybe? It still does it for the URL on this page but I've not actually gone to your fixed link yet.

Don't think so, the link was still broken after I first visited the fixed link. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday
