And that's why we talk about it. We'd like to see other vendors, in this field and others, do the same. We'd be absolutely *delighted* to lose part of our "competitive advantage" that way.We'd rather compete on our software quality alone... with *everyone* working to even up our badly tilted economic playing field as best they can. >Every thought about taking over for what's-his-name at GM?.:) LOL! No thanks! He dug his own grave, but we shouldn't put all the employees who had no part in that in there with him. IMHO. All the best! -- Jeremy H.
