Well, you didn't hear if from me, but one of the webservers for the pops
goes down A LOT (lots of asp script errors) - too bad, it has a good interface.

So we have to revert to the other NT server (which rarely goes down, with the crappy
interface).

Why NT, why?

I'm surprised Microsoft actually had that much BS in their heads to put up that "Why
NT kicks Sun's a**" site - not that both sides are completely right anyways (especially MS).
