They wanted NT to cut me out of the loop - but paying a > consultant to fix the system was cheaper than dealing with NT. Or paying a consultant to fix NT :-) Which would probably cost a lot more. At least I know that this is what *I* would do. When somebody calls me to install NT because 'they simply want NT', I ask for more money than when they leave /me/ to decide (even if my decision eventually seems to weigh towards NT for one reason or another - unlikely as that may be). Ooops, I hope nobody can accuse me of 'unfair practice'. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
