CASE=Computer Assisted Software Engineering Modeling tools=the same thing, basically (can I use 'basic'-ally in a discussion about programming?) Semantics=arguments and there's too many of those. You got my drift, though. Bottom line is too much poorly written code, much of which runs on Windows and which helps Windows sorry stability reputation. Too many lazy coders and downright stupid project managers. etc. I worked as a software test engineer for a while and what we got from development initially was usually crap. When I was a configuration manager I got to see first hand what the problem was: stupid managers who couldn't play by the rules who had to be beat back like a cage full of tigers by me with the whip and chair. I finally said something that rhymed with truck it and bailed out. The best thing that came out of those two gigs was my exposure to an early version of RH and then a later Mandrake. From then on it's been Linux on my desktop when possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
