I've noticed that when the topic of viability comes up, Linux supporters point to RedHat. I just looked up their financial statement. They have spent most of the money they got from the IPO and still haven't shown a profit. (This time they promise Q1 2002). http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir\_site.zhtml?ticker=RHAT&script=1600 Linux, like Unix was built by people with nothing better to do for people with nothing better to do. Before the Linux/Windows argument, Unix was poised to be the "killer app" of the mini computer world. Corporate america was screaming for a hardware independent O/S. They though they were really being killed by non-portable software solutions. Unix was about the only horse in the race. It still lost! The world waited for a better solution, and finally got it 10 yeasrs later in networked systems running Windows.

If you should happen to be in a polite discussion with a Linass, simply direct them to this web site. It contains the future of Linux. http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir\_site.zhtml?ticker=RHAT&script=1600 These are RedHats earning estimates. (They haven't made any money yet!)

But I do not think this has to do with the site, I think he asking you how to create a User system for whatever project he is doing. You know, the FAQ "How do I make a login system in ASP?" kind of question. Response is "http://www.aspfaqs.com/webtech/050499-1.shtml" You could point him at the ASP forum for tons of answers. Though my mind reading abilities may be a bit off and he really is asking how to sign up with CP. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

I have had the exact same problem in Ireland with Eircom and surprise surprise Microsoft! Couldn't agree with you more!:confused:

Glad you enjoyed it. We got a big kick out of it. My son first saw a print out of it at a boy scout meeting and could not quit lauging at it. He took it to school and now all of his friends have it. My wife took a copy to work, but her boss turns out to be an anal cat lover type and was offended by it, which is unfortunate considering that we are currently living off of her salary (don't want to make the boss angry or I'll have to go back to work!

Indeed it is! And once in a while, when someone gets me drunk enough to try Karaoke, I sing it. Badly.
