Hear-Hear! It's nice to be able to choose my own tools, and as long as I can get my work done with them...no problems. The only time I call IT is when I suspect a problem on the network or server end (their end). I try not to mention what OS/Apps I'm using because they will usually get confused or clam-up or give-up. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
