One of the "pluses" of going to PCs here is that the end user department is actually paying for some things that IT used to pay for. This actually INCREASES the cost to the company as an entity, but DECREASES the IT budget. So it is "good" for IT to "just shuffle the money". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
