Heh, that's very kind. Yes, it is actually my list, but I never use it so I often forget I put things onto it. I think I actually use it as a way to bookmark something I'm looking at on Amazon, and then never wind up going back to because I just didn't get around to it. Last year my thoughtful wife bought my birthday gift from my Amazon wish list. It was a DVD set that I had wanted, but many months before my birthday I had viewed the entire series through Netflix and totally forgot it was on an Amazon wish list. She had no clue and wound up purchasing the DVDs for me anyway. :) > Crazy people claim to be somebody else while wishing for something the > person they are disguising as never would.

Email is usually slightly more unique... -- Shawn.
