Hi John,
You think this attitude in part drives the statistics on the rate of
failure for small businesses?

Hey Amy, change the landscaping stuff to printing and you almost
describe my
printing client to the T. After 4 years, He now has a Windows 2000
server, 4
XP Pro computers, 1 Windows 2000 Pro computers, 8 Windows 98 comptuers,
and
yes, the son in college still comes every Saturday and has tried to load
Office XP on other computers.
Oh, they are only using a Linksys router for Internet access, no
firewall at
all. I can't even convince him to spend $500 on a Sonicwall let alone
ISA.
Oh, and the owner complains to high heaven when it is time to renew SAV
yearly.
