Ana, I downloaded KRAZY.JPG and thought I should point out a typographical error, in the event you do use this as a promotional piece for English-speakers. The text phrase "…a new way of looking things…" should include the word _at_ , to perhaps read: "…a new way of looking at things…". Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

"for English speakers…" Cheeky, what?

Gary, No, not "cheeky". For instance, some video production here in Hollywood, CA is intended for PAL or NTSC customers, or specific foreign markets. The original text in Jesus' layout might have been in Spanish (since Ana seems to hail from Spain), with English text substituted for an upload here. Regardless, I am unable to resist spotting typos (Matrox got the name of their product wrong in one of their ads). But does anyone ever ask me to review material before publishing? Nah… Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Hi there… hopefully you didn't mind the missing <g>. ( <g> ). I'm a typo freak as well, especially at work where the receptionist doesn't do more than spell-check a document. Thus, last week we had a Master Plan with a chapter headed "Site Contest" and not "Site Context" (100 chances to win?) Anyway, I was in a frivolous mood at the time….your point is well taken, of coarse…. <g> Regards, Gary

Ooooh. Keivn Krell – Computer Support Associates p.s.: I guess it's the ^important ones that count. Just found an incorrect price in a dealer's retail price list, but it was hard to find someone at the company who cared.
