That's the business we're in and I can tell you that it depends on you're approach. Nobody spends money on technology "just because" anymore. You have to frame it in a credible rationalized business case, comparing the cost of making the system improvements, vs the risk, vs the cost of NOT doing it. This is where we as technologists get lazy and usually fail. Suits are nothing if not predictable. Show them where they can reduce risk and save money and they WILL listen. Tell them about "neat" technology that is "better" and their eyes glaze over. -- burns _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
