They always work well.... once you remember the goal is to make you dance on someone else's strings. Watching a smoothly-running operation get disrupted because a newhire takes work home with them and uses a more recent version of Microsoft tools than what's working in the office is an exasperating experience, touched with a tinge of admiration as to how Microsoft can get a small business to drop a couple of K on an un-needed and un-wanted upgrade. Perfect harmony, in a 2112 kind of way. -- _ |\_ \| -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
