That's a pair of religious statements if I ever saw them. The hidden assumption is that "rational people" are just like Anthony, which is obviously false. Rational people actually look at the requirements and then reach conclusions, rather than mentioning that requirements exist then jumping to a conclusion. Just like there are environments where Unix isn't the logical choice for a server because it fails to meet a variety of requirements, there are also environments where Windows is not the logical choice for a desktop. But trying to convince Anthony that other people's requirements might be different from his is just like talking to any religious fanatic. They've made up their minds about what is and isn't right, and nothing will ever change their minds. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
