You know, all I wanted was to be able to run the same software whether I sat down at a computer at the office or at home or at a friends' house. The damned Linux and FreeBSD people screwed that up. I don't care what OS people run, but what I *do* care about is that I can sit down at any computer and run the same software. Did you know that you can choose which nameservers you use? And you can continue to use the same nameservers no matter what provider you use. DS
