Didn't I just read something about this "Virus_cleaning_in_process" thingamabob in some magazine??? IT Manager: True, I read that, too.... CFO: Good man. You know what to do <wink, wink, wink>. I don't think I have to tell you about the inverse relationship between "bottom-line" and bonuses...... ...... 30 minutes later ....... You (pink slip in hand): didn't we just lay off 70% of the IT staff last month? IT Manager: I am really sorry about this.....really.... but it's tough to argue against the efficacy of this new "Virus_cleaning_in_process" feature and how it improves our efficiency You (handing over your badge to HR): This #%^#$$$ Microsoft!!! What were they thinking !!!! <sob, sbo, sob> IOW, beware what you wish for :) Sincerely,
