yeah? this wouldn't put undue load on you? it would be cool to test out, to then try to slowly migrate people in the company over ... i think half of their objection is setting up / maintaining the server, and they're clearly not worried about security, as we've been using ya-f*ing-hoo forever ... (the other half, of course, is getting the luddites to learn one new application, but that could come with time). </nori> -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net/jnl ^`~'^ ++ Sponsor me as I run my SECOND marathon for AIDS: ++ ++ http://www.aidsmarathon.com/participant.asp?runner=DC-2844 ++
