Ever since I got a cool little animated cartoon icon of Capt. Haddock
(in the Tintin books from Belgium) with smoke coming out his pipe to
replace my windows "houglass", i *LOVE* logging onto METALINK and
waiting!!!

AIX is not an option. We have a choice of NT4 or Win2k as
the LAN servers that our central campus NetworkGods/SAs will
"support" for departmental database projects.
Just asking them to do network support for a few special case Win2k
pro desktops elicited the same horrified looks that would greet a
proctologist driving around in a rotorooter truck, so asking for AIX
probably isn't too good an idea. :)
Anyway, here is the ink from METALink:
