I did not take offense at all. I just wanted to explain that ComputerWorld is not to be trusted about anything. Kind regards, Denys. . . Denys Beauchemin Hicomp America, Inc.

I do not belong to that group, because I do not know of, >or understand such plans. I apologize if you took offense at my "joke". I was just poking some fun at you (and myself). You have been the NT guru here and I thought surely, if anybody knows and understands HP's push to NT, you would. On the other hand, I (in my MPE-centricity) would know absolutely nothing. Again, Denys, I am sorry if you took offense at my ill-conceived humor. Jim Phillips
