Nope, it's genuine. This is an extranet system that financial services companies will be connecting to. Did you know that Norwich Union has thousands of users still in Win3.1 and NN4.03 (so I've been told)? And some of the other insurance and mortgage companies aren't much better. Then there are many who are using thin clients (Citrix), and a few with more modern systems. It's a real hotch-potch.
Wow, my brain hurts just thinking about that! I can only imagine the weird circumstances that would keep so many people on such an old system, but at the same time I'm not truly surprised ;)
Ben also said "Good luck, and charge appropriately - meaning charge extra ;)". I would, but this is my day-job so fixed salary ;0) If I was doing it freelance...
Ahh, that's a pity. Well our thoughts are with you - perhaps best to treat it as an interesting experiment? ;) cheers, Ben -- --- <http://weblog.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
