I've heard a sysadmin rant about how IE & NT Do Not Approve of that.
He apparently was getting it set back to default automatically.
Very weird, but then again, NT is weird. I'll take `vi sendmail.cf`
over "Start, Configuration, Configuration Panel, MSMail" anyday.

Switched? Did I mention switched? :)
Says I, whose personal network is coax... though not ARCnet.
I want Token Ring. Preferably 155 Mbps token ring, though, aka FDDI.
Not that I need it, and I'd probably enjoy a fractional T1 more for
less cost.. but hey, pipedreams. An E10k would be nice, too. Or the
newsservers as my ISP have now installed them... an E4k working
together with three two-headed PIII-450s/512M/50G running linux.
*slap* Keep your head together. Don't get drool on your keyboard.

"... and pretty soon, they may move me up to fries!"
Sorry, couldn't resist.
No phone... I know a few people who'd switch with you. You get a
phone, but also the large salary, okay?
