[wellylug] [Extremely OT]

[Hong Chyr]

Thanks all for the reply. Didn't manage to cure the problem, but at least I tried.

Tony, thanks for the suggestions and all. But I think the "quick answers" are very much part of Linux/free speech spirit. As long as we can keep it objective and not personal, eh?

Cheers
Hong
