This works ok until you need to run some old code that you coded around a bug in 13 years ago, and because that bug has since been fixed, this time it kills the shop cat. This is a moderately strong argument in favor of keeping both your hardware and your software, up the what you can currently buy. Besides that. it may have been an excellent cat, fully aware of the employee manual. Reminds me of something from about 18-22 years back at our transmitter site, I'd put a calico kitten up on the hill for a mouser a decade prior, and I was discussing something I wanted done with an employee at the time when a mouse went running across the floor, interrupting our train of thought, the cat was half asleep on a pillow on an early american poverty couch. I pointed at the cat and said "you're fired", then I got in the pickup and headed back down the hill toward the studio 16 miles north. When I arrived, one of the first phone calls was from that employee, laughing his self silly. Seems I hadn't gotten much more than turned around in the drive when that cat jumped off the couch, ran into the room the mouse had disappeared into, and came back out with that mouse in its mouth, brought it to Jim and stood there as if asking if it could have its job back! Moral, do not disturb a valued employee, even if they are working for a daily bowl of Meow Mix. > Ed. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
