While, strictly speaking, this may be true, I'm pretty sure it's not what you meant, and I've seen this enough times that I just have to say: "loose" [looss] - a condition opposite that of "tight;" improperly fastened or closed; unattached (and, in this sense, potentially correct). "lose" [looz] - to misplace <something> so as not to be able to find it, as in, 'it's "losing" the usb devices and they can't be found any more.' There - got that off my chest! And, now, back to our regularly scheduled emails.... mhr
