Bill, I quitye agree with you there, Having owned a number of retail stores I long ago learned to set a real group of problems to potential techies. Making an IBM floppy cable from a roll of ribbon and crimp connectors for 3.5" and 5.25 with the 5.25 to boot as A: got rid of over half of them. Remove the edit command from the system and make them find it on the install disks at a squozed file, this after asking them to install a different CD rom without an install disk, just a set of files, that required them to use the editor. Next time some guys says "I am an engineer", ask him what railroad? In Toronto $60-120 is typical rates for tech support at assorted levels, the papers are full of ads from all over the world. forget Doctor, Lawyer etc, become a network administrator, get to work at night and on the weekend(costs ya extra, as the girl says). I am niot sure how the new Apple OS will shakle down in this world. Apparently it seems to be abit buggy, and only runs on some machines. Hoepfully they will et it figured out, dump Jobs and the old cronies and get Apple back in the black. Bill
