The boss in question is in charge of running 120 PC's. If he goes out and buys 40 Mac's beause we admised him about a third of em wouls need replacement... To START with, under his contract he should have gone throgh us, but we don't tend to get sticky about that unless they go to one of the other local companies. And then there are his own two "tech people" who didn't say anything. So yeah, it was plain dumb. Dawn Falcon
