They claim they are in server business forever. There is something called MacOS Server. Which is an incarnation of their OS with some scripts added. But (apart from that that thing doesn't have documentation - "click here, then click there... and you are done" doesn't count for such) they do not maintain its consistency for any decent period of time. That is, as soon as they release next version of the system you can say goodbye to some of the components of your MacOS Server. So, as far as "clever Apple" is concerned, I disagree with you. Unless we both agree they are clever enough to be able to fool their customers ;-) Valeri ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
