You can call imy server a "workstation that provides services" if you like, but it's actually a server that is sometimes used as a workstation. Your big corporation rules for what is appropriate use may apply in the corporate world, but they don't in my situation. I've got *enough* computers cluttering my spare bedrooms...I don't need to go adding more heat load and power drain just so I can claim that I'm doing things like the guys with the raised floors. Their needs and capabilities are very different, so the solutions are very different. As for my being a student, not a formal one since 1980, but I am always learning something new. I get paid for programming. I'm not in "IT" though...I write system stuff, not payroll and database code. -- Mike Bartman ============================================================================= | I didn't really say all the things that I said.
