Russell put it right... the problems we discussed lately (although they probably should belong to another list-serve when getting into detail..) go back to fundemental flaws in our system. While we do currently have one of the best socio-political-economical systems out there there seems to be a need for some tweaking. Capitalism is what makes our big employers and those gel-haired executives give million dollar contracts to Indian companies.. because they are cheaper and it makes them more profitable! In other words, if our big boys did care for and consider you folks out there who have not had a job in months we would be on the way to some positive reform... unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. Capitalism is not perfect and flawful... it is man made. To make it better sincerity is needed ... Off line comments welcome. BTW, has anybody run ESMTP and APOP with on Linux mail server scenarios.. I would be grateful to benefit from your experience/pointers to start!

Yeah but no one cares about MySQL yet..only Oracle & MS SQL. Maybe that
will change in the future. ;)

How'd you guess? LOL FYI...it's all broadband there now...narrowband was
just shut down last week.

That's a great idea! We hear all about this "I-4 Tech Corridor" -- anyone
see this? Maybe it's time for this country/state to realize they need to
crack down on these companies sending their jobs over to India. If the tech
industry was unionized you better damn well believe it wouldn't be happening
but unfortunately it's not.
