Well, I think I made my point - there really is no 'correct' answer
to the whole OS argument.  I could pick at all sorts of things on
both Unix and VMS, but it'd be pointless.  Each site has special
needs, and requirements - and as such, each OS deserves consideration.

As for ending these OS wars - you have my vote.  I get real sick of
seeing unfair comparisons made, and justifications for one or the other
on information which isn't entirely accurate.  After reading through
all of the current postings, as well as ones from the previous 'war',
I haven't learned anything new, nor have any of the postings ever
convinced me that either OS is 'better'. (what ever 'better' is)

Well, off to better discussions...
