Hi about stallman's article - as always, he's not a lunatic but an idealist. but the anti-word "movement" must come from the users, even MS users: personally, i hate word attachments mainly because they are big and tend to eat out my memory when i work with win98 on my office computer. i edit articles only on notepad (word's speller sucks anyway), and so do most of my employees. when exchanging documents over mail i encourage all our staff to use plain inline text, if they want a response within less than a two days ;-). because there's nothing like receiving a 1MB attachment with a single page document containing three lines and a .bmp company logo. and if HR people will only understand that, we'd all be better off.
about our chat - i've already asked our chat admin to ask netfun for a version that will work on all platforms. meanwhile you can make do with the "advanced" chat we have - i know it kinda sucks, but it's better than nothing. hope netfun will provide us with a new version soon. i'll notify this list when he does... cheers, > Dvir Volk > Editor in Chief > Nana by NetVision > ________________________________________________________________________ _________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel: 03-5652585 | Fax:03-6241952 | http://www.netvision.net.il http://www.nana.co.il > NetVision LTD.
