And IBM probably knows that, so there is no motivation for them to lower the cost for us long time VM shops. Now I wish I hadn't created so many cool utilities for the programming staff over the years using Dialog Manager :( Isn't that a sad way of thinking.... I guess the other thing I "could" do is call in all on the minor issues that we have lived with over the years and insist on getting fixes. Then I could feel like I am "getting my money's worth" for the maintenance fees. But that just goes against my nature and would be so counter productive for both Illinois Mutual and IBM. Anyway, I've vented a bit and feel a little better. No comments on the fact that I don't look any better though :) Ed Zell (309) 674-8255 x-107 [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
