    I see lot's of people doing this.... Stay computer.
    there is a site... www.s10-forums.com and they have stuff on that as well that will help you. Got to make sure you learn who to not take advice from because there are tons of idiots on there that don't know what they are talking about and post up a bunch of crap that isn't true. Trust me on this one. lol
