That's not quite right, what we really have is a large group who will not pay for hardware/software combinations UNLESS they deliver a measurable improvement in performance and usability over the existing free software with it's supported hardware. -- anthony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ alovell@kerberos.demon.co.uk | If at first you don't succeed PGP Key available from a server | alovell@cix.compulink.co.uk | Get a Bigger Hammer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
