In the 90s I went to Germany to de-commission an old Novell server and replace it with a NT4 box (progress eh?). I had to transfer our app to the new server so the first thing I did was to delete the 1000s of temporary files that had built up over the years. I had a similar experience - people came out of their offices to ask why everything had suddenly sped up! Had a great time in Düsseldorf. They took me to a brew pub called the 'fox'! (in German of course). I still have a beer mat from there somewhere. The food was fantastic - roast knuckle of pork, served with sauerkraut and washed down with the dark beer they brew in the pub! -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
