Thanks dude :). > >Well, if cryogenics were as reliable as cell phones, "everybody" probably >would run to it. I'm afraid you're right... The (un)usefulness (for 90+% of the population) of these things has little to do with their popularity. Might as well hold for cryogenics... "hi, it's me... no, me, John!... yes, I'm in the train right now... huh? yeah, in the TRAIN... I'm at Utrecht Central now... no, Utrecht... yes, will be home in about 10 minutes... hm? ... no, TEN minutes... yeah, see ya". Combine this with the incessant "tsk tsk tsk tsk" from a bunch of walkmans, and there's really no fun anymore to travelling by train... (and then such an idiot asks you to close the window because it makes too much noise so he can't understand what the other person is saying... arghhh... &^%$#) Ah! Got the solution: if we freeze all the morons with cell-phones and walkmans, then... :-) -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
