Well thats two of us that feel that way. Also existing devs who have already paid for VS.NET should get a refund with interest. Its plain supidity that we have to pay for VS.NET. If we play this right even MS will probably support us ! Regardz Colin J Davies Sonork ID 100.9197:Colin More about me :-)

First generation women from the oriental countries are all but impossible to know. People from the Orient here seem to be very clannish, often refusing to make any attempt to speak any language but their own, and avoiding any contact with the natives. Conversely, they raise their children to be model citizens of their new home, with a strong work ethic and emphasis on education. An interesting, but baffling culture..

Yes, its a bit of a Catch 22 situation. Regardz Colin J Davies Sonork ID 100.9197:Colin More about me :-)

Mazy, I can see we will only continue to argue about this. But sport and religion have been often used by the authorities to get people to not face the real issues also. And in western nations where religious faith is not so widely practiced now, sport has become more important as a religion. However the real problem is the regionalism that it creates which causes people to believe they have a superiority based on there localizations sporting prowess.

it makes you wonder, how bored must a person get to write a story like that? :bob: Email: theeclypse@hotmail.com   URL: http://www.onyeyiri.co.uk:bob: "What goes up must come down. Ask any system administrator"

I'm sorry to hear about your woes Paul. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Sometimes I wish we could return to the era pre-spreadsheet so this sort of problem didn't exist.

Navin wrote: Paul - where did you get the name "Bluegrass" for your company? Well, firstly, it is not "my" company. I technically work for it. Navin wrote: See, I'm from Kentucky, USA, nickname of which is "the bluegrass state". Yup, Kentucky. Bluegrass state. Wild horses, blue grass etc. Well we have nothing to do with it. Not even remotely. Navin wrote: Do you just really enjoy KFC restaurants, or maybe bluegrass music? Well KFC aint half bad, they used to be better but lately their Zinger burgers have been a bit small. Still, I like KFC, but it has nothing to do with our name. We have an Apalachein Stomp CD which we use on our phone system. So if you ever get put on hold at Bluegrass you will here the Dueling Banjos or My Uncles Your Cousins Fathers Mother. But still, nothing to do with our name. We just thought it would be fun (and of course the Dueling Banjos is just a great piece in any respect.) Navin wrote: Or (as I'm guessing), the name must have some other significance? Nope. Still nothing to do with our name. In fact, I have no clue about our name. Neither do the owners. They just chose it on a whim one day as a name which really can be applied to anything. BTW on our cabinet we have: Bluegrass whiskey, bluegrass perfume, bluegrass tea, bluegrass coffee and bluegrass beer. Still, nothing to do with our name, but g'damn that perfume is terrible! So, in short: Bluegrass is just a name.
