(or her) I probably still have a pristine copy of NT Server in a sealed box somewhere. I think I bought several copies. I know I have a sealed box of Office 97, since it's sitting right next to me, but apparently it has some issues when installed on XP (these days I hesitate to install anything from Microsoft because installing one MS product seems to install about 95% of its other products automagically). > In any case if you meet the driver author halfway and don't approach > it like it's his driver that's broken, but rather that your hardware > isn't exactly compliant, (regardless of what you really believe) you > won't be put into the anal insertion category. If I have to worry about hurting the developer's delicate feelings, maybe a new developer might be a good idea. I hoped to stop having to deal with schoolkids when I got out of school. Good developers feel morally obligated to deliver bug-free code and don't have to be nagged about it. -- Anthony
