(at the risk of opening up a hornet's nest... : ) There was mention of something like this at our sysmanagers meeting yesterday. I think they were talking about Windows, and I thought I remembered 2008 and 2003. But, what they said was that Microsoft, in recognition that lots of people were not upgrading, had put out a converter that would allow 2003 to read files from 2008. That would allow you not to seem unprofessional ;-) . --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <hoogendyk at bio.umass.edu> --------------- Erdös 4
