I don't feel like it's job security!  More like a ticket to a rubber room
some of the time.

  It's really amazing what I see if I go through the logs -- lots
of shopping going on here.  Porn is about the only thing I can't let go by.
 it's pretty much company policy to let the users do what they want as long
as they keep doing their whole job.

The stuff I think is really cool, I couldn't show you.

I don't even know what that does, haven't run across it.  But by the name,
maybe it's something our whole company might want to think about it.  Is it
like a VPN server for over the internet WAN's that has compression?

I'm going to update most of my clients to 7.02, I already did mine. As for
the server, we're still the most modern in the group at 6.5.3, but I did
download the 7.0.2 Server version just in case I get up the nerve to be the
first again. (I was the first past 6.)
