I can sew and knit! But Generalists in many things can do more than Specialists can in even the core Specialty. I for one have shown many a "Specialist" faster and easier ways to do things in their own specialty that they never even thought to look for or do. Mainly I see things from a "System Perspective", it is a curse for long term employment. Many times it is frustrating to see Specialist requiring a HUGE amounts of "special cases" when if they used the resources already available to do the job things would be more compatible on updates and upgrades. More like, they want a "Special Hand Made Long Handle 24oz Tuned Framing Hammer" for doing general hammering, when a 20oz All steel claw hammer with a molded rubber handle cover is available and does a better job for trim and general nailing work. It is more a forest and trees things. Well, seeing a field of pine needles in spite of the pine trees making a forest. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
