Right ...

Nothing wrong with that either ...

The end of the month must come soon, I am looking forward to getting that 
sound card, as well as a powersupply for my other box, which I currently 
cannot use ...

The other side of the connection, has always been the weak point ... :-((

Well when you are ready, let me know how I can collect them ... , before the 
subject gets cold that is ... <VBEG>
