Actually, since Linux can be administrated remotely, there's no reason
for the machine to be taken in...and most things can be solved within
a few minutes' time...which, even at the high hourly rates that Unix
administration skills are worth...is STILL cheaper to solve than a
LoseDOS problem
Hope that helps.
Jackie...for someone who claims to be an independant thinker, and really
up on the latest news, you really cling to some very, very old lies that
all originate from the ultimate in "borg"-like orgainizations...Mafia$oft.
