    Oh yeah! I keep getting the reminders. Ironically enough I only log into the boards when I am at school, and at home is where I have your code. I am writing a note to myself in my PDA now so that I don't forget, ok

    Don't think so, I mean reading pixels outside the window, like clicking anywhere in the screen.
