Direct Rendering Manager

I agree, I read DRM and immediately see Digital Restrictions Management

"Bad money drives out the good", you know.

but since you have done it, you can honestly say your an exspurt now Scott.
gus3 ·
Or a Unixpurt/Linuxpurt.

Another joke I didn't get. I hate Sundays!

Both my compliments and all is forgiven.
