Do you know how refreshing it is to think some guys working in IT can
afford the time to be just a bit silly on a mailing list?  Might this
have something to do with having an HP3K?  Strange how I look forward to
reading HP3000-L, even though my responsibilities leave me little time
for MPE!  Go read Oracle-L for a while and get a feel for 'how bad it
can get'.  Image/SQL and MPE is a heavenly dream compared to Oracle and
Unix (let's now even take about NT:-().
