I tend to think of severs as "female" connectors. But if you want to look at it the other way around, you a free to do so. I don't think it makes any difference, as long as you are consistent about it. It can occasionaly be useful to make this decision, so you can properly diagram things. I don't know why I look at it the way I do; that's a rock in my mind that I'd really rather not look underneath. :-) -- T.E.D. http://www.telepath.com/~dennison/Ted/TED.html Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
