That's kind of the point Steve. It's the people driving the bus. Microsoft obviously makes excellent products. So does Ubuntu, Linux and Mac. A developer can screw up any of them. The same company got the active directory messed up and all of the users lost their permissions. We had to request them for everyone. As for your Ubuntu experience, mine is considerably different. I love it and am moving toward using it for my main machine. My wife - used to pick on me for my move to Linux as she worked for a Microsoft shop - loves her mac now. My brother the preacher has never used anything but a mac and has words reserved for our dad's windows machine. ;^) Jeff Jeff Johnson [email protected] SanDC, Inc. 623-582-0323 Fax 623-869-0675 _______________________________________________ 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.
