Have you ever tried to get any *useful* information out of micro$oft ? ;) It reminds me of a joke I heard recently: These two guys are flying in a helicopter towards their destination. But as they approach a very thick fog come in. To try and get directions the pilot pulls the helicopter out of the fog and flys up to the only tall building that is above the fog. The passenger writes out a message on a piece of paper and holds it to the glass. The pilot flys up close to the building so that anyone in there can read it. It reads "WHERE ARE WE ?". After a few minutes they get a response "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" Instantly the pilot yanks on the stick and drops the helicopter thru the fog and does a perfect landing on the helipad. The passanger is shocked, "How on earth did you find the airport from that information!?!". "Easy, " says the pilot, "the answer, altho technically correct, was totally useless, so that must have been Micro$oft HQ". ;) -- the lunatic fringe
