Change one or the other to another IRQ

Was that a PUN? :-)

My diagnosis as well.

"If I should be pun-i-shed
for every little pun I shed
I would need a puny shed
In which to hide my Punished Head."

I just HAD to say that.

166468 2003-08-10 10:01:00 Ummmm... Do you mean an IRP instead of an IRQ?

What's an IRP?
