Which begs the question, does it make much of a difference? (not you being bored, but the rather speed concers). With all the things out there that can slow your browsers reaction time in presenting some result, does a couple of seconds count much in the over all scheme of things? I know, purest will say that they want to make whatever they do as fast as possible, but is that time to make it faster be better spent elsewhere? We used to have to worry about the size of our strings, but now we can place the kjv of the bible in one. So, what's the point of counting characters in strings now? I suspect at some point, probably soon, speed isn't going to matter much. Opinions? tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
