    True Dat.I knew a computer geek on here would know the answer. A rep is coming your way,and its your turn!

    Edit:The rep button says I have to spread the love around. Wait awhile, because after I send a rep to random people that probably don't deserve one,I can give you one.Unless someone wants to rep Shiloh in my place.If so, please let me know,and thanks
