Arrow, You've not only given a nice supporting argument for IBM, you have helped explain some things I didn't understand about the banking crisis. Are they also technology partners with the New York Stock Exchange? I wonder how many co. ships have foundered on that ice berg? <G> MB

>>As an aside, OS2 is still a major server operating system for Fortune 500 companies, in particular, the banking industry. << Interesting. On another note the latest scientific american had an interesting little piece on some of the navy ships having converted to NT4 as an OS. Seems that some custom SW written to operate on the nuke subs didn't interact just right with NT4 and a crash shutdown a ship or two for a few hours. I knew a lot of these OS's were getting to be rather ubiquitous, but NT an OS for our military hardware? Hmmmm. sciam.com
