That's the problem with any computing technology - or anything, for that matter. If it works too well, it fails to make the consciousness. When it does fall over, it's a catastrophe. But if it goes down constantly, then that's just part and parcel of having it and everyone believes that's the way things are. If you're employed to herd these things, on the other hand, if it just works then you're not working hard enough and so must be downsized... > for the dark side.

No, it's when they try and play solitaire on the thing that it causes problems.

I have considered this, but the pain of working MS is not worth the extra employment. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
