Funny thing is I am one of the few people who acutally has degrees in 
both History and Computer Science (come on how many can there be).

Yeah well sorry-- I've been use Unix and Linux servers and Linux pcs for 
a long time.  I wasn't aware that one had to know the MS product line to 
be competent.  In fact IHMO the less MS software you use the more likely 
your stuff is to actually work.
