Here we go again. Friend A and friend B, before the fight, after the drunken party with friend's L and T, joined a local garage band. Friend A was the singer, friend B was the bass guitarist. Friend M and F joined the band later. Friend A left the band because of his feelings for friend B, so friend I joined the band as the lead singer. Friend F was killed in a car accident not long after. So friend M joined the band. Friend M was in love with friend /. Friend / wanted to join the band, but friends I and B we angry that friend M was letting friend / join the band. From then on, friend / was know as a seperator. Everyone agree that friend / did nothing but get between friends A-Z.

Well it depends on what speed friend A and B are traveling at. Also on how many mountain dews they have had to drink.

I read that as: "the" or "pipe" or "character" or "rules" or "all"

It's not the AS/400...its the iSeries now...get it right. =)

I unfortunately have to deal with the AS/400 as well. My company uses it for their main ERP software and I interface with it a good bit using it as an SQL server. Not all that impressed.
