I don't understand why government agencies don't use one of the numerous, secure, free OSes that are a good fit for a bunch of limited capability terminals and headless web servers? Pay a couple of system admins (who they undoubtedly already do or will, for Vista) and you're practically done.

@53 Leave some double-quotes for the rest of us, sheesh.

@21 I have *never* heard that. What's your source?

I was with you until "Air Bud". :P

I'll bite. What's the question on everyone's lips?

Much obliged, Antinous. Now I don't feel bad for ignoring those posts.

As an aside, can someone explain this relatively new reader why some folks eschew vowels in their posts?
