Skeets,

"mike, good piece. be sure to use the spell schecker next time..."

Speaking of spell scheckers(g), I heard a rumor that they beta tested the thing on steve's posts and couldn't get it to work without hogging so much in the way of system resources that no one else could post in SI for hours? And that they then faced a decision; either steve or the checker had to go? (and guess which went?)-ggg-

Craig

Mike, I enjoyed your report also. But haven't you noticed, over the years, how much sales per employee have gone up for so many of the Fortune 1000 companies?

Skeeto, There were more than a few spelling and grammatical errors in the piece. I am usually fairly pristine on the first, though, in the past, I've been arrested for dangling my participles in public. -g- I think ofter is correct pronunciation, if not spelling, in Boston. MB
