... at least I hope Mr. Dean is running something other than MS-Word, given the evils of Microsoft.
... not that I disagree. We run NT, but we don't run IIS (arguing about web servers is like arguing about operating systems). I might have started out on Unix, but I've been writing code since before Unix was born. Before Seattle Computer 86-DOS for that matter. It still comes down to "Never argue with anything that works" -- I don't advocate NT over Unix, it's just another tool. My experience is that it works here. My expectation is that it would work in other places as well, and that *nix would probably work here. Never argue with anything that works. -- Lynn -----Original Message----- From: wholesaleurl.com Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 12:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FWD: OpenSRS-SF Did you use your F7 key in MS Word to find all those big words in your email message?
