    When you hear that from your boss, remind him "And there is no 'U' in jerk, but let's not split hairs." :laugh:

                    One could say that there ought to be as many I,s in a Team as there are members - assuming everyone get to put their oar in once in a while. Otherwise you might as well be in a dictatorship, which is not so bad if its benevolent, at least things get done. One might also say that some Teams have but one cycloptic eye, as in one eyed Aussie cricket teams I discovered a new program launcher, its a bit like Spotlight, it's called Executor. Not unsurprisingly I like the name too. It's not quite in the same league as WizMouse, but IMO its a lot better than Launchy. It works without being told what to do; just like you'd have your partners, kids, dogs, cats, hamsters, bosses, subordinates, .... behave.

                              There is no I in TEAM; however, you can't make the TEAM without ME.

                              Thank you

                                What language-centric piece of junk that is! In what other language (Spanish, German, French) would you be able to spell "team" and come up with it missing a personal pronoun for self (do those other languages have a single letter expression meaning self - I think it would be "yo" in Spanish)? What does spelling a single word, missing a single letter have to do with anything anyway? Just plain stupid (oh, there's an "I" in that word! Oh my! We all must be STUPID!) :doh: Stepping away from the keyboard now....

                                  It's management speak. 'nuff said.
