I know, but i can't account for some speed differences of 140x between us.
Or why me loading a 1meg file uses 5megs of memory, or when i save it, it
uses 6megs. Granted, you have better hardware, and even Eumans's laptop
is probably newer, but even considering you two running pio mode 4+ and/or
wide scuzzy harddrives, all i can guess is you are better programmers. My
cap's off to you.
