Your statement reminded me of something my brother-in-law, George, said. Some time ago, he and my sister had gotten a Digital (as in, "Digital Equipment Corporation") computer, Pentium-class I think. His brother-in-law (*his* sister's husband), Dick, is a computer geek too and and is clueful. George told me that one time when Dick was installing a hard drive in the old DEC Pentium box, he took the cover off their machine and was highly impressed. He said something to the effect of, "Wow. They don't make them like this anymore. No wonder Digital went out of business." -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
