|||| My organization (government agency) still uses NT 4 servers and

||||
|||| If it works for them, let them continue to use it. Just because

|||| automatically upgrade.
|||
||| I don't think that's a reasonable analogy. MS Mail was cruddy when
||| it *was* supported....and I suspect there are reasons that a gov't
||| agency might not upgrade (scope of project, and red tape) that
||| likely don't apply to a small business, even one on a limited
||| budget. I also imagine that a government agency has a teensy bit
||| more skilled tech/engineering support available to it on a fulltime
||| basis, than does a mom & pop operation.
|||
||| And no, I don't think SBS will work
||| for you, Milly. ;-)
