  Ahh, ok...I tend to equate the two.  I'm reminded of the guy I saw

spools to separate a roll of two-ply toilet paper into two rolls.
This is a guy whose hand I would *not* shake if we were to meet. :)

  Well, the less money they spend on equipment, the more money they
can steal from the company.  After all, that's why they're there.
