Not to mention the desire to keep one's genitals feces-free.

because successful DNA are those that reproduce.
Part of being successful is being sexually attracted to members
of the APPROPRIATE sex.
There are only two explanations for homosexuality
a) it's a choice
b) genetic defect in the brain.
Hope that helps.

Well, sonny, if you came in here for any anti W2k material all you had
to do was read, not post. You aren't a very bright manager then if you
post the way you did. I suspected as much from the beginning. If I
were you, you should get your resume ready as I hear the unemployment
line this year is going to be long.
However, I suspect you already are unemployed. I don't need a job as
I'm retired and have it made in the shade sonny. I already have my
hobby and I could care less about MickeySoft products.
Oh, BTW, don't install W2K in lieu of UNIX... you'll be sorry.
