New Thanks: collecting hard #s like yours..
As I try to gently move my local 'project' (non-profit) folk off of W2K Server. But first I have to find a local LUG person capable of duplicating the rather simple functionality they require - and at least continue to serve 3 W-98 laptops (!) until desktop, improved Star Office can morph in at a quite later date. Even I am now appreciating the length of the detailed list of things which *must* work - ever to become Billy-free, with typ. office tasks :(

The chief honcho is ex-management of his own company, but apparently less PHB-ish (re "what he Knows he doesn't know") - than many of the examples described here. He's beginning to get it: what lock-in, the license cops and "owning your own data" might mean.. {sigh}

(At least they aren't running a website! and while IIS is currently 'inactive', I need next to utterly nuke all traces - dunno if an 'inactive task', in Billy's lexicon means: cannot be externally switched back on (?))

What a STUPID STUPID industry, all in all..

Let me know when you are done with it, I don't intend to leave the page up forever.

This project is becoming a good lesson for me re how hard it is to present umm "significant" facts about today's tradeoffs - even to a pretty bright guy. He at least knows a few buzzwords, and is not religiously brainwashed re M$ (or anti).

Now all I have to do, after the ISDN works, etc - is create all .doc for the system (installed choices, that is), from scratch. That or ~whatever will pass, for someone new, to ever make sense of it after a crash :[

(No way in hell you could 'cookbook' something like a W2K Server, I see.) Even the O'Reilly admin book has so much crap about AD! intermixed within every hint: learning Sanskrit would be easier and far more useful overall, at least to me.

Guess I'll be wandering over there to look at logs, for some time. Damn; wouldn't do this for $100/hr. Unless starving and then.. I could - eat less)
