Uh, Wolf...I doubt there are birds big enough to carry a loaded AT-clone, much less a Sony Multiscan, modem, phone, and printer. Besides, bird exhaust doesn't go splut. It goes splat. The definitive splut is a quart or more of lime Jell-O mold, (you know - the kind that you get when you add cottage cheese to an otherwise undistinguished tub of Jell-O), place it in a Tupperware container (if it didn't start there), and throw it at a brick wall from at least fifteen feet. I determined this after an exhaustive series of experiments. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC...>splut!< | GEnie: JAYMAYNARD CI$: 71036,1603 uucp: {uunet!nuchat,hoptoad!academ!uhnix1,{ihnp4,bellcore}!tness1}!splut!jay Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.
