How very true. Apart from a loud bang before the whinging starts, there
really is no difference between blowing up a nuclear reactor and
depriving Mabel in accounts of email. In fact, if you're on site when
it happens, you will probably hear more grief from Mabel.
Next time I'm selling a system, that's exactly what I'll tell the buyer
if he wants a web based interface to manage file sharing, adding
removing users, etc. Why? With a CLI instead of all these girly gui
things he can feel like a real man.
Of course he'll show me the door and buy MS Small business Server
instead but the point will have been made.
Thanks for the input. >--
