Just run of the mill PC's, a few printers, a plotter, and a server. We tried
TCP/IP printing here with Windows 95, ugh!

As always, I guess. I am learning a lot here just from on the fly, but it is
nice to get some training I guess. I am still somewhat uncomfortable. I do
have a big ol Novell Guide to Netware, which helps a lot. I have to see how
much AEI will pay for me. : )

Indeed. There are a lot of teachers in college that are like this.

Heh, I felt like that in all of my AutoCAD classes. Luckily, most of my
technical classes were from people that actually worked in the field, and
was teaching part time. Do you have a computer degree of some kind? I am
drifting into Architectural Mechanical Engineering, but I might try to get a
computer degree some day as well. I was in Computer Engineering at Ohio
State, but they didn't have anything comparable up here, for the most part.
Thanks for all the info.
