Steve,

I understand where you are coming from but only because I think you took James' comments out of context. And, since his comments were in reference to mine, I have a pretty good idea where they were coming from.

James is a super guy who has helped me a lot. The IT tech I referred to has always told me that many IT people aren't always the best people persons, which is why they go into working with motherboards, and doctors generally have good bedside manners which is why we do what we do but aren't very good with computers. And, when I say that, I don't mean setting up a switch or installing RAID, I mean a full fledged network set up flawlessly.

In a nutshell what James and I were saying is the following:

My IT friend always wonders why people who are sick choose to go to very good doctors and do what is best for them even if they can't afford it or at least what they can afford, say CT vs MRI, but yet doctors, on the flipside, choose to (many, not all) to leave their critical data on rebuilt HP computers from eBay. (Please no firestorm from those who do.)

All James was doing was giving a more direct analogy, e.g. for us doctors who do make a decent living (harder and harder), tend to skimp on technology, probably because we survive by watching every penny.

I think if James is guilty of anything is possibly using the wrong words or expecting us to understand his full meaning.

I think James would be one of the most helpful users on the board if AC would turn him loose with the sa and password and help users with the ssms. I am sure he has those, but he can't openly advertise.

He also does not solit business through AC and does this on his own free will.

So, I would ask you to reread it and maybe look at it a little differently.

Obviously, you haven't searched enough of James' comments. This one is quite mild. I have a top ten list.

Sorry, James, had to say it.

Thanks for all your help.
