"So, what comes out of Redmond nowadays? Hot air and Ballmer dance videos made on Macs. Monkey boy is funny to watch, but after an all night patching stint with the CEO yelling at you, it loses its charm."

Now there's an unbiased article.

GRRR A PROBLEM AGAIN WITH IE 6.X on XP-P.

My FR IE 6.X screens have again started carrying each paragraph out to the right as one line, as far as it goes such that I have to scroll to the right to read the whole paragraph--a long ways if it's a long paragraph.

I can't figure out how to restore it so that the paragraphs have line breaks within the screen size.

Any suggestions?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Blessings for the New Year to one and all.

There are billions invested in VB apps that will not be easy converted to Java, MS Domain controllers are known and reworks are expensive and MS (SQL, VB & .net) stalwarts still exist in IS groups everywhere.

Moves from MS to open source are relatively easy for Banks, Credit Unions, other financial institutions and governments - they ARE NOT entrenched in MS - many never ran core apps or systems on pure MS systems. Many corporations are still running Novell and/or AS/400 systems.

I work for these folks, Banks to Fortune 500 corporations. I have seen more than one city and county system.

The moves are good for all of us, but do not expect the Red Sea to part and the corporate world to follow Penguin Moses to the promised land.
