Fear not Spaw, we are all about to become 21st Century Luddites. Pokemon Sucks, Beannie Babies Rule OK. (At least thats what my daughter says) The characters are more cuddly too. ICQ is a mystery to me too, but my son is going to be appointed official "teenager" soon; as such he will enlighten me into the mysteries of VCR programming and more of this (wonder of wonder) strange laptop, (its as big as my first calculator) and the magic ( all done with electrickery) it can perform. After enlightenment I hope to join ye all in song. Yours, Aye. Cordially, Dave
