I was so happy to see someone sing my song... Stupid MacIntardos,   
idiot MacBoys.   Today my mixed network where I am forced to use both  
"Macs" and "PCs running XP" went down and caused me to miss an  
important appointment.  I went from computer to computer...... The XP  
server was still up and the Macs were too dumb to know they were in  
the middle of a network crash.  Sheesh.... They were still up and  
talkig to the server.  Only the XP machines were sophisticated enough  
to disconnect from the network.  All of them ..... talk about  
consistency of product.  That is what I expect from Windows.  And then  
I tried to do "a work around"  and found the CD burner on the XP  
server was "taking a break".   I mean is this new age or what ?
