Rick, I couldn't agree more, but outside of the cap cities things are a
bit more conservative. I too am steadily weaning my clients over and
nowadays I can be a bit more selective about knocking back Win jobs (or
charging the earth for dirtying my hands on them).
At 6:00 this morning I went around all of my managed sites and patched
their sendmail to block suspect emails, all whilst I was still in my
jammies. Try doing that with that other toy.
Howard.
