i'm still having a hard time believing that the computing public at large allows businesses like MS to behave in such a way. all it would take is for all the people who are tired of them doing business the way they've been doing it to say so. i think the point would be made loud and clear. otherwise it becomes a situation where people who don't vote have no voice to bitch when things get bad. why don't we start a grass roots campaign to let MS know how we feel about the way they do business. _that_ s is really at the heart of why most of us here on this list don't like them. its got very little to do with the software they write and call an OS, but everything to do with the way they do business. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
