I swear the more I hang out with you and read your articles the more the desire for glow overcomes me. :) (Sounds like a medical problem, maybe I should go see a Doctor.) ___________________ CollectionDX Writer www.atomsantics.com if you don't mind my asking, what does it cost to get a custom glow done like this?
