Our issue is the particular software and what it does. Claris, for example, produces software which blatently disregards standards and encourages their customers to believe they're doing the right thing. I find this approach reprehensible, no matter which company does it. I don't like paying any software company to make me look a fool. Many different companies have tried. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
