One of the other offices in our building got hit because of people doing that, and it still makes me nervous that our offices are setup that way. I don't know enough about physical protection measures to know what to put up there - heck, barbed wire? Radar sentry guns? :-) SeanMike -- SeanMike Whipkey - Damnit. Where's my witty repartee? "Ow!
