Actually, another Computerworld ad which pops up from time to time and is one of my favorites has a headline, "Oh, the joys of being a DP professional". Above the headline is a large photograph of a desk drawer filled with analgesics, antacids, caffeine tablets, stress vitamins (a new addition in the latest version of the ad), etc. Perhaps I should add the vitamins to my drawer.... -- -- Jeff Sargent {decvax|harpo|ihnp4|inuxc|ucbvax}!pur-ee!pucc-h:aeq Jesus has creched the devil's system.
