My final venture into this disussion... I would like to remind all that, similar to politics, this decision is not so much based on how we vote..... but how we spend!!

I am sure MS is already working on the next OS to replace XP. How lo= ng can we expect support from Foxboro after the life span of XP is over?=20 =20 =20 Loyd Greer Great Lakes Chemical Corp El Dorado, AR >>> AWeldon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 11/08/02 07:57AM >>> We are currently looking at upgrading all of our AW's and WP's. The question is whether to stay with Unix or move to the NT boxes. Does anyone have any experiences that they are willing to share about NT vs. Unix vs. a Hybrid system. I have no real desire to give Bill & Co. more of my world but everyone seems to be headed that way. Thanks in advance, Alan D.
