Glad you revisited this.: Also glad to see a non-biased review of where things stand and how they got there. I said the samething you have said in your closing remarks. If there is a "blame" to place then it must be placed upon the competition, both proprietary and open source.; Posted by: No_Ax_to_Grind Posted on: 06/09/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
