thanks kedaman, but i don't think i should add on another project just yet. i was just wondering if anyone had built any. the controles on star treck seem rather user frendly (after getting use to them though). I think it would make a realy trick windows mask- ah, but i tend to daydream a little to much(like has anyone thought to make a vb compiler for other OS?, another question another day).

stupied question of the day (i sometimes fill in @ the helpdesk at work):
caller: "my computer says it has a virus, but i havent been able to find a file called virus. were should i look?"
me: "what does your virus scanner say?"
caller: "Virus scanner?"
