What a load of bat puckey. 20 years ago your spiritual predecessors were saying "you can't go wrong with IBM." You're being paid to think, mister, and choose the best solution for your business need. Any asshole can follow the crowd. When your all-MS solution doesn't turn out to be all that the MS marketeers says it is, I hope you're made to take the responsibility for your choices. Karl
