Norma, sorry to say the guys programmers are pissed about the MSFT deal. Something about pride of authorship and not succumbing to greed. They've threatened not to work weekends. On the other hand, they are excited about the hostile takeover of CS**. I don't exactly know why. Perhaps they like the sound of the word "hostile". I stocked the programmers lounge with "Star Trek: The Next Generation" videos and that seemed to work... for a while. But lately they've been walking around saying "I am Borg. You will assimilated" so I fear time is running short before we have a full-scale revolt. - Jeff cc TEDennis
