I'm knee-deep in MSDN Universal DVDs! I let my subscription lapse, though, since there was nothing worthwhile I wanted coming out for more than a year. I might do the Partner thing one day instead of MSDN - plenty of time to decide. Meanwhile I run a mixture of flavors of Windows (2K onwards), Office (97 to '03) and SQLS (7 and 2K) on different PCs, all for development and test purposes of course. (Who else but a developer would run four different versions of Office anyway?!*! Just have to mimic my client's setups - within reason.) I like the idea that you are *now* legal though ... ;-) John > -----Original Message----- > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of > John W.
