Same old story. > >Richard Heldmann Well, to tell you the truth, I cannot give you an example. However, I'm sure some of the ex- or current Microsoft people can. However, let me ask you a question. If Microsoft is so crummy, how come they are squeezing Novell out of the server market and Netscape out of the Internet market? Quite frankly, I cannot complain about Microsoft. They revolutionized an industry and there are millions of people employed world wide in that industry. And it has fed me and my family for almost 5 years. The computer organization that I worked for previous to that had better hardware and software than Microsoft and let itself stagnate into oblivion. One other thing, you mention that they never start from the ground up and act like that is a bad thing. That is a good thing. Why start at the bottom when you can start near the top? Keep smiling :) KarinsDad
