Oh, come on... give it a rest. The only thing I can assume is that you deliberately misunderstand. I have nothing against listening to users. To return to my earlier example, if the designers I support say they need software package "X", then assuming they can justify it and we can afford it, we get it for them. That doesn't mean I let them decide how it will be installed. How are they any less empowered? They have skills I don't, and I have skills they don't. I don't push in where *I* don't know, and in return I expect the same. And I certainly don't take the position that they have to learn everything there is to know about keeping a PC or a Mac running in order to do *their* job. -- Marc Wilson | Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
