I often wonder this as well. Unfortunately, I don't really know of any company which can afford to try two (or more) possible solutions then pick the best of the bunch. They usually must just "guess". This means that management will likely either go with what they are comfortable with (and more are comfortable with "newer" technologies) or go with what is "in vogue". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
