Thanks guys, I heard of ppl doing that. As in putting their own program on chips, i would never trust that. I was thinking if it's actual backups of jwt original chips, that there shouldn't be a problem. As for the hit count, you're right...but 65 000 hits is quiteee a few. I read his posts, always been a helpful guy! I'm in a dilemna right now, that's for sure! thanks again!
