Just to folow up on that Cheryl, I'd add that while taking names, we wont be taking credentials. There are a few folks here that might start freaking out if they thought we were kicking butt, taking names AND credentials. I just wanted to assure folks (particularly the Militia members) that they needn't worry about the 'credentials' thing (FWIW). -JCJ

You're hilarious. I'm glad you think that's what you're doing. In response to your last post, I guess you weren't paying attention. I'll try to help you out. I originally responded to your statement that Microsoft was the enemy of the entire Internet economy with the following post, bringing up MacOS as the closest OS security-wise to Win9x. Message 13755966 In a subsequent post, I asked if you would expand your indictment of Microsoft to include Apple, since they also sell a client OS that has a similar level of security, relying on the browser for Internet security and privacy as well. I've still not seen a response to that question, only evasion. In fact, I wasn't engaged in a discussion of thin clients. You did bring them up a while ago, but I was not part of that discussion. Again, to make it really clear, I initiated the discussion of Windows 2000 and MacOS to challenge your apples-to-oranges-based assertion that Microsoft was an enemy of the Internet. I was not evasive in the process. I didn't change the subject. I simply brought up a few questions that you have yet to answer. Do you understand now? Thanks, Mike
