<< what someone said about Macs making good servers. They don't.>> I've always heard great things said about Apple web servers particularly in reference to Star Nine's WebStar server software. Up until this year, the server had been billed as "unhackable". I still have not heard any disclosures on how it was done. But I suspect Star Nine's coders are busily modifying the code to regain that unhackable status. A 15 year title is not something you just walk away from. The Mac Hacke site claims to have been visited by the likes of Micrososft and various departments of defense to investigate this property of the Mac as an internet server. (Mac Hacke -I think that's how they spelled it- reluctantly gave the prize money out to the lucky hacker when they broke into the system under strict criteria.) Any machine can be crashed by a hacker, but the Mac's grace is the ability to resist outside attempts to seize control by a remote hacker. -Bill_H
