Gerald, Re: "I have enough of that waiting crap at work with the archaic VMS system we use." You'll have to be lobbying to buy an up-to-date system, something that can help us Intel stockholders, right? Or, is it donated, or bought and paid for? Hard to get rid of those, huh. I saw an IBM machine at a customer site once that was so old the memory was core immersed in oil for cooling. Yet, they were moving out a much newer system on an upgrade to a still newer system. I asked how come they were keeping the oil-cooled machine? They said 'it does one particular job, and it's paid for.' Anyone have any slants on the Shiva purchase? Tony
