Evaluate your needs and wants, compare them with the costs involved - just as you do with any other purchase. Some people compare computers with transportation. Sometimes a cargo ship is the best solution, other times, trains, large trucks, small trucks, vans, sedans, race cars, bicycles, Segways, feet, or crawling work better for particular tasks. Each tool has different standards, different costs, different strengths, and different weaknesses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
