You actually expect people to be able to read? How quaint! <grin>. Today's IT environment requires that all products be usable by people with minimal knowledge and no interest in learning. That is "intuitive" computing. If it requires any thought or training, people might want to be paid more! horrors! That would cut into executives' year end bonuses!!! That is simply unacceptable in today's corporate culture. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
