Steve,
I guess it's a small world after all. If you can guess where you can find the URL of my picture, I give you 2 hours of free VPM support <s>
Now back to the subject.
At home I'm using W2K Server, (at the office Win98K), the first time Win2K Server crashed, it did corrupt my email account (Eudora), my newsgroup clients (several instances of Forte Agent) and some Office documents, although some of them where closed already. Since them I'm using a UPS at home, just to be on the safe side. (It's a small price to pay to keep the dutch VPM movement going < vbg >)
hth,
Frank Camp
