Note the previous postings referring to something called "the real world". I have clients who still run apps on Win95 platforms because they a) work and b) they are cheap, i.e. they have paid for themselves many times over. Requiring a client to fork over money for an upgrade had better be accompanied by more than a "we don't make that any more" or you will see their backsides disappearing into the doorway of a competitor faster than a chicken in Ethiopia. I have always been amused by the fact that there are so many in the developer community that I refer to as "brilliant but unstable" (also "highly educated idiots") for their ability to come up with answers to questions that clients are not asking. They can design the latest handheld gadget that will do everything but wipe your ass but can't understand the first thing about running a business. I guess that's why there will always be techies and the pointy-haired managers that use them. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
