Oh - I see... Hrmmm Well, now I feel stupid. I was wondering why no one responsed to my earlier post saying the same thing...:-> Well.. my opinion would be to find a new series of names. These are kind of cool, but, for most people must seem sort of boring and uninspired. Hamm, slink, buzz.. They just don't evoke much more than an 'oh'. As far as something to replace them.. hrmm. Geography has been popular lately.. cities, rivers.. Something international would be good. Lakes? Seas? National parks? Drinks?:-> Oh, wait, I have 'real' things to do.. enough brainstorming.. -- David Welton http://www.efn.org/~davidw Debian GNU/Linux - www.debian.org
