You're talking my language, I look after a lot of machines on a large combination server/peer and peer-to-peer network and I necessarily have to do a lot of work at the machine level, XP is the OS that is most stable and is by far the easiest to maintain. I'm no friend of Vista. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
