...true but there's a damn good reason for it ...networking with XP Pro is peer-to-peer which has some rather severe limitations when you get above more than a few users ...W2003 has all kinds of advantages over WXP as a server, even in a straight file server configuration ...and the best bargain anywhere is the MS Small Business Server package with device cals :) William Hindman "My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me."
