so gets changes the array into a string object during each loop and then 
just keeps changing the what is in that string object ok i understand 
that. I still dont understand the issue with "exit" thouse i dont see 
how i am putting exit into anything, i am just testing to see if info is 
== to exit i thought. I dont know maybe i should stick with networking, 
lol this stuff is frustrating i dont know how a person could do this 8 
hours a day.
