As the new MS ad campaign says: "You started it." Oh, no, wait, that's wrong. It's "You want to start something?" How much more bullying could that slogan be? Steven H.

You are saying that, if I hire you and I use Mac OS, and "it doesn't work" (your determination) or "some compelling change is needed" (your recommendation), then I have to buy Windows OS licenses and new FM licenses to finish my project -- that I hired you for when I had a Mac OS? "How conveeeeeniiiiiieeeeent"[1] for FileMaker, for MS and for you. I only kid, Steven. I am sure that you would not encourage a client to buy whole new licenses for an OS and for FM before recommending another FM developer who actually specializes in the OS they already use. And I am only kidding. But the point is valid. We can't go around bossing people about their OS. If we offer a project bid based on the client's set-up, then we had better be proficient in that set-up. We should not get stuck and then 'encourage' the client to change something as fundamental, and possibly extremely costly, as changing Operating Systems (and all that entails regarding other software). -- Gary [1] Sorry, Church Lady.
