"Prime" is not the name of the mark, >it just means "first" here. That's what I say in Spanish, "ene prima" and "ene segunda", but in English I've always heard it called "n double prime". I don't think English speakers perceive the "prime" as meaning "first", and I don't think even Spanish speakers perceive that "prima" as meaning "primera". mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
