When they started doing that with the tests, I was impressed. I was playing with trixbox the other day- I love the whole image bit! > made all the tools free and opened all the formats.

That is funnier than crap, Jim. "Smaller than iTunes-" should be a slogan. :) > It works exactly as I want it to and that's all I said first time around. > It clearly doesn't work as Dave would like which is, of course, fine.

Last time I transferred 40 gigs, over a gig network connection, took foreverrrr. 12 minutes! LOL =) Heh! I was talking to some people the other day, explaining how sometimes it's faster to ship hard drives across the country in trucks... > It's the "Rain on the parade" mentality that bothers me.

I also aim for honesty- I know there's that whole subjective nature of reality bit- and thus, well, - :-P Anyways, sorry if I came off harsh or anything. I'm not a rabid supporter- I am however, impressed with the direction the company has gone, and find the whole progression interesting and well, entertaining. The religion bit is a turn off, I try not to be an OS-Thumper. :-) I am, however, a bit of an MS basher- I mean, I still love it- I love it all- Probably the same issue you have with macs, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wholey sheet! Isn't that just the way it works , tho! I'm gonna try to work on that. Cuz that's how it works. __ Some of it's plain logic, I guess. =] PS in closing- Moderation is Good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:239566 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
