I don't know why, but my eyes roll back into my head and I feel like I'll go insane every time I see the words "FrontPage Web". <excuse me a second, I can't see the screen> Why does MS constantly need to invent its own terminology for things that have had their own names/definitions since the beginning of time, and often have the new terminology be so far off that you wonder which nutcase it was that they pulled out of the local maximum-security sanitarium to think it up for them? "FrontPage Web"? Or how about the well-known acronym DNS (which is now called Digital Nervous System among all the clueless MS dweebies) or DNA (Distributed interNet Applications)? Give me a #$*@ing break! Ok... My brief encounter with insanity while thinking of the stupid things MS constantly does is now over. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
