Hello! I just read the article. I suspect that for reasons that we know all too well that the author did not name those locations for safety reasons. I happen to know one physician and his practice rather well. The only Windows (UGH!) based anything is inside their offices. They connect to a mainframe application that lives on their hospital support location and that's definitely something which started out originally with IBM 3278 family style terminals. And we need not go down the lists of banks who are doing that as well. Is it me, or are systems and their operators becoming cynics? ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
