OK. I'll vote for that. :-| I'll even get back on topic. >From what's been said, MSO users expect their office suite to provide a bunch of applications related more by needing common databases than by having any code in common. To what extent does this mean the "office app" becomes a mini-operating system? And should it be allowed to? Is it not the function of the nominal OS (be it windows or linux) to coordinate disparate applications? And is it not a waste of programming effort to duplicate any of that functionality? -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
