We are losing alot of the heavy weight windows programmers because of the abundance of product flames and "How do I setup Windows?" questions.

I would like to remind all you folks out there that comp.windows.ms.programmer is not a news group to cross post to if you think that your question is of particular importance. The reason it was created was to provide a group free from questions of setting up lans, new video boards, or other peripherials, where programmers could talk to other programmers and produce better code for the rest of you to use (i think this was the point, that is what I got out of the discussion). thank you Jeff Watkins -- Jeff Watkins jwatkins@cadsun7.gatech.edu Convergent Media Systems (404) 315-0105 voice (404) 315-0231 data "I speak for no-one.
