Bingo - you hit the nail on the head. 24 years in this biz, and the worst fights I have seen have been 1.) Novell networking vs. UNIX networking 2.) IBM OS/2 vs. Win95 3.) Desqview vs. Win95 4.) OS/2 vs. NT 3.0 (and after) 5.) Windows(whatever version) vs. Mac 6.) Windows(whatever version) vs. linux(whatever version/distro/flavour) 7.) HTML vs. plain text 8.) emacs vs. vi 9.) Redwings vs. Maple Leafs 10.) Souther Baptists vs. Northern Catholics 11.) OJ vs. The Supreme Court Personally, I jab in fun - at least most of the time - as I have to support/care for quite a large number of Windows and Mac boxes in my current biz/venture - but there are those that do so with a horrible, mean, deep, hurtful vengeance... Some people have lost heaps of money in their dealings with either Microsoft of Microsoft products - so understanding and compassion have to come into play; yet, the same can be said in reverse. Either which, ignore those that M$ bash - just remember that most of them ain't been laid in a month of Sundays... -- Mon Mar 31 13:55:00 EST 2003 13:55:00 up 10 days, 1:42, 4 users, load average: 0.21, 0.15, 0.12 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** I know engineers.
