Jerry, Close to beating a dead horse, but you only have at most (I'm guessing) a handfull of Pentiums. We have hundreds (if not more) scattered all over in various departments across several states that may or may not get them replaced. There is no way to guarantee that one of them won't hit us one day. >>In any event, you do balance your own accounts, don't you? <G> I balance my own, of course, but do you really realize how many millions of transactions and trillions of CPU cycles a corporation like ours does in a day? There are a lot of checks and balances on the mainframe side, but not on the workstation side. There's alot of room for miscalculations that may not be detected right away.
