Same thing with the Voice Recognition. And most of the VR companies were bought by a single other company to not be named, and it isn't IBM. These were the ones that allowed the "encumbered" part to be downloaded and used for non-commercial or educational purposes. I'll bet you can't guess what other company's name? -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
