Gee Don, that is a good one. I can't compete with your "rapier" wit. It sounded like the original poster might have been on a limited budget. I was just trying to give my two cents on the direction he/she could go. Getting a Microsoft suit is much cheaper than going Oracle. Maybe the person doesn't *need* that kind of horsepower. People have been commenting on poor Microsoft Tech Support, but I don't think it is any worse than any other f*cking product out there. Why do people bash Microsoft so much? Maybe it's because a lot more people use it than you want to admit Donny. I was anti microsoft like you Don, but I eventually woke up. Be the rebel Donny and watch your 'saleability' dwindle as Microsoft grows stronger. If you are so adamant against the advice I gave, why don't you offer an opinion and actually show some use to the group. Later Gator...(rrrraaaarrrrrr)
