In fact I've expanded that "technique" to dropping almost anything. The reason being most of the times I've dropped something FINDING it after trying to catch it was the most time consuming part. So, if something falls, I let it fall, and watch where it ends up. Of course this isn't a good idea if it's a glass or something else "breakable" falling, but I digress... ----------------------------- Herbert's PIC Stuff: http://repatch.dyndns.org:8383/pic_stuff/ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
