Hmmm... Interesting Steve. I see you make the same mistake as MS by assuming you know all about all. But maybe that's why you two are such a good match. I've actually been in pretty deep with MS stuff over the past 20 years. In the most recent couple years I've seen a more prevalent trend: my teams look into what MS offers, look at what needs to be done, look at where we want to go in the future, look at the other options, look at the pluses and minuses, and then.... usually dump MS faster than a hot coal. Just because everyone doesn't have the same 1-inch deep understanding of technology like yourself doesn't mean they are "off base". >How are you coming on your hogan? ><http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/houses/hogan.html> The rest of the >nation must be daft living in those overpriced high mark up houses >that run 150$ / sq ft. > >-- >Stephen Russell Well, considering my 'hogan' is about 5500 sq ft, huge bedrooms, bathrooms for every family member, huge garage (for my wagons?), awesome Rec room, fun deck, wired and wireless network access points in every room, automated house functions, a 110" projection system with interfaces for video/computer displays/other peripherals, high def recording boxes sharing on NAS drives, 15/50 Mbps Internet access, multi-firewall isolation, automated security with audio/visual/physical tamper monitoring/database logging, yada yada yada. I'm coming along great. Thanks for asking. Just about everything is open source solutions except for some of the desktops (I haven't gone the "remote control"/VM route to do my VFP devs yet). So how is that Microsoft coloscopy coming? You're quite an innovator to forego the usual colonoscope and just use your own head. Best of luck with that. -Charlie _______________________________________________ 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.
