This means no Visual C++ or Outlook for 20 +. Either loaded means a likely network access and a probable system hang. This hits another dozen programmers and and about 30 artists. Cost: About 14 man hours+ plus gripe time and loss of flow. Me: (on phone) Ray? What's the deal here? We've got a deadline today. This is the second time the system's going down today and I ain't even had my coffee yet. Admin: Yeah, but last time NT rebooted I forgot to turn the switch box and it didn't detect my mouse. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
