If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, he was neither wrong nor stupid. If you think otherwise, go find a non-technical person, and get them to _actually_ understand how a network works (as opposed to getting 'em to parrot your answers). The other common approach for an analogy for a network gave us the "Information Superhighway". -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
