Paul that was the point I was laughing at. the OS is like a weapon. For one set of hands it is an entertainment device. The target shooter that enjoys taking the gun and shooting at paper targets. The gun is a toy. the NFL Player that sees the weapon as an accessory and shoots himself in the thigh. It is all about the USER and not the object. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ 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.
