Hers a tip,Assume nothing,but for whats its worth im currnetly running xp on all my systems,for what i need xp suits my my reqirements better then anything else,hence im using the best alternative .

as for the lmfao? . . . . well,If you read an abbreviation in a certain way then thats your drama . Apply your definitions to your own reality and keep it to your selves . 		metla (154)
146060 2003-05-22 12:43:00 I hope Bruce won't mind me straying away from the topic slightly .

In my line of work (in the IT business for over 15 years) I have come across many occasions where changes are not only required but unavoidable due to poor installation, wrong specification and frequently incorrectly matched system vs business requirement (or expectation) .

I entered this thread (aka debate) with an open and honest opinion . No where in there was I trying to be sarcastic or attempt to perform character attack .

I find it offensive that some with good standing in this forum automatically assume the defensive position as soon as a change or even a negative feedback is posted .

Too often I had to challenge staff and managers with closed minds on business process, even if the process is costing the company too much time, money and manpower to address .

Yes, this forum is nice . so are many other forums .

Yes, this forum is easy to use, so are many other forums .

Yes, this forum do occasionally suffer bugs which causes IDG to go through the codes and databases to find the fault . Maybe some of the other forums too have these problems .

But I posted a honest and unbiase opinion .

Don't ask me to show case my work . I have done my share of websites and forums . I don't need to prove myself in this forum, for that was not my intention . I merely stated an opinion . You may feel free to flame me for all you want . You might feel very intelligent by posting remarks such as "woopeedoo", I'm sure that was most amusing for all to read .

But in the end, I was open with my opinion, for that is my choice . 		nzStan (440)
146061 2003-05-22 13:07:00 On a more constructive note, Bruce, what does your forum or system administrator think of this system? Is it easy to manage or does it need frequent monitoring of the event logs? nzStan (440)
146062 2003-05-22 13:15:00 That would be 181 don't you mean Polly? Must be a very old manual. Could be time for an upgrade, maybe an auto. :p

146063 2003-05-22 13:19:00 Well presented Stan.
