At least they don't have code that says if (software = "Netsape" \|\| "Non-MS") { coredump() } What? Are you trying to look stupid and ruin any chance of being taken seriously? You're doing a fine job. I was on HP Unix for 8 years. I could go for months without having to reboot. I once had an uptime of 220 days, and then it was because of an UPS outage. So go get a machine for $2000 and run HP Unix. Oh yeah.. you can't. I'm now on an Dell 200 pro running NT, and I have to reboot every other day. It is slower than my 150p running W95. If this is true, you have a setup problem. I'd be willing to help you with that. Also, slower at what? So you must write great quality software. I bet you don't have a computer science degree. I do have a computer science degree. Sorry. But I wouldn't say I write great quality software. Very few people do. Some work at Microsoft. Most don't.

if (software = "Netsape" \|\| "Non-MS") { ^syntax error coredump() } Sorry, = should be == Compiles fine on my NTBlow system. Robert, I have no doubt there's code in their "OS" that gives them an "advantage". This baldy guy is the real brains and Hilter in the operation. Billy is just the rich little brat, dart board with the Daddy bought entrance to Harvard. I hope the justice department raids their campus and inspects every fricken line of code that was ever "deleted" from their system. Columbo, out of retirement. MH #0
