We've often disagreed in the past, sometimes vehemently, but this note all but brought a tear of agreement to my eye ;-). You nailed it, man. NT is gaining market share despite its inferiority. We all want to do a good job, but those that don't care are driving the current "NT Craze" (much as they did installing LANs for 12 users back when a LAN of even _THAT_ size wasn't maintainable by a non-technical staff member). I don't hate Micro$oft, heck, I use NT/Workstation on my primary PC -- and it's _FAR_ superior to '95 as a desktop solution (which I'm stuck with on my notebook). You're beautiful man, don't ever change ;-)... Dean Asmussen Enterprise Systems Consulting, Inc.
