Tangentially related: in 2000, I was at a user group meeting. A bunch of us were standing around chatting. I was at a startup, and so was a friend. I asked him how things were going, and he said "Well, we made payroll, so that's good..." Another friend, who works for the U.S. government, chimed in, "That is good. When we did our payroll on the mainframe, it was reliable; since we moved it to distributed, it's usually late." My startup friend and I looked at each other and agreed that we were talking about VERY different definitions of "making payroll". But the .gov guy's point was still a good one! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
