Hey Al!
Doesn't supprise me. They get some pretty wild gear. The military just dropped over $3,000,000,000 into a experimental project called NMCI (Navy Marine Core Internet) The theory is that anyone anywhere at any time will be able to comunicate without flaw. Well, since they skimped on the price and went with P.C. there are allready Major problems involving career fields like mine (Photo/Graphics) with this program. Right now my Shop is running Macs. and they told us that if they can't get the P.C. to do what the
Macs do and at the same speeds, that they would leave us alone and let us keep our Macs.
You guessed it. Since they will be using Windows 2000, they can't get any software to support the high end priters we have and can't get near the Processing and Spooling speed as the Mac. Because of us, the whole project is on hold, until they can figure out how to Match us.
This will take a while
