2001-11-12 Thread Alan Vidmar
I would like to make a request for Scott. Would it be possible to add a CPU Type column to the Individual Account Report? Since v21.4 it seems even more important that each and every machine has the correct CPU type selected. Since a lot of members that have been around a while (myself

Based upon what I have seen so far, I want to add a vote for the addition of a side frame. Since the Header/Menu contains so many links, its really the only nice way of handling it. All in favor of a side frame please speak up. Alan On 19 Apr 2000, at 21:00, George Woltman wrote: Date sent:
