BOb;

Last October I was looking at the Microsoft web site and they announced that windows 95 and windows NT 4.0 would no longer be supported as of December 31, 2001. As we use NT Server 4.0 I was concerned. I read there would never be a new service opion pack after 6.a.

The first week of January I went back to the same web site (page) which no longer included NT 4.0 as being dropped for support. At this point I have not checked "the latest Microsoft offering" of information of what is and what is not supported.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that others may have either seen the same info I did or someone told them what Microsoft had published.

Now when is it going to be Friday? I am ready! :)
