Actually, NT ignores it too _until_ you load the vendor's "FRAID" driver. If you boot on any NT kernel (NT4SP4+), it will see the "raw" disks as well. Only DOS kernels (Win9x/Me) will see the RAID configuration as a disk in "MS-DOS compatibility mode." -- Bryan J.

Any tax rate that penalizes them will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele- mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism. So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
