This more or less supports my original thesis, but it doesn't offer solutions. Are we truly at an impasse? That is, have we come to a point where people are unwilling to get the benefits of on-line scheduling because the drawbacks outweigh them, or because the drawbacks include non-negotiable items which will always defeat such systems no matter what the benefits offered? -- --Alan Wexelblat Bull Worldwide Information Systems internet: wex@pws.bull.com phone: (508) 294-7485 (new #) Usenet: spdcc.com!know!wex "The aim of life, its only aim, is to be free.
