Got anything older? <Edit: OK. I see your compaq statement. But I am backing up my post with code readouts. Not hear say>. I'm speaking from real world experience here. Not semantics. I am not chiding or poking fun. Just being pragmatic.

Most people have one.
They are all different.
I see Anti covered my druthers < aka preferences > statement.
