It's happened to me before. You get fed up with the MS crap, and clueless hosers in posititions of authority above you who, if breathing wasn't an instinct they would be dead. You storm in to your bosses office throwing down the gauntlet and in no time your looking for a new job. Think carefully about things before you take Ted's advice :) Not that it will get you fired, or that it's bad advice, but I have done just what he has suggested several times before. It doesn't always work in your favor. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | Sr. Unix Administrator Work: chris.watson@twa.com | Trans World Airlines, Kansas City, MO Home: scanner@jurai.net | http://www.twa.com ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
