I guess started a larger than life discussion. It seems to have gone way
overboard (or has it?). All I was complaining about was the fact that any
software producer prohibits activities that I think they should allow AT
LEAST a work-around. If they want to block exe files, and some people want
it, fine. But at least have the decency to have a way one can get out of
this set up, built in to the program, not make the user look for third party
vendors to provide a solution.
That's my two cents worth and I'm sorry tempers flared on what I think is a
legitimate request from Microsoft (or anybody).

Greg and all...since Linda is on vacation...when the cats away ;-) I enjoy
yours and Dian's thoughts! keep it coming, please! (at least till someone on
list complains or Linda checks in)
btw: that module thing you mentioned this morning, I used Google to find out
what is and I didn't know I was doing testing like that for years on my
networks, my bosses used to tell me to 'create a non production network for
load stress testing and other assigned needs' I learned something new
today! Thank You!

I'm willing to stick my foot in it. We're actually discussing Office
shortcomings. At the moment, that thought is just a touch tangential.
But you've sparked my curiosity. OS X is a fine environment with a strong
history to support it (it is based on BSD UNIX). Short of decent DVD
Authoring software, though, what products are you seeing appear for that
platform that are not showing up in the Windows world? Office products? IF
that is indeed happening, it's the turning point. If you'd like, I'll take
the response offline.
