As in all things in a capitalist country: Money talks. Speech doesn't. Or, as is sometimes said by IBMers on the IBM-MAIN list: "Show us a business case which will make us money and we'll pay attention." Unsaid is: "Otherwise you're <elided> in the wind." -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
