Well, thanks to a Microsoft product called Microsoft SQL Server I am unable to reach that site tonight.

THIS IS A BIG THANKS TO MICROSOFT FOR BRINGING DOWN THE INTERNET FOR ME TONIGHT

anyways.. I'll check it out when all this ms-sql-monitor worm crap goes away.


to answer your question, if you are a newbie try mandrake, suse or redhat.

Actually blame bad administrators

Microsoft fixed this in a Security patch last year and in SQL 2000 SP3, so the only people who are to blame are the people who've had since last July to patch it.

I agree with sordid, Mandrake or Red Hat. I personally prefer Mandrake.

Hello SHADOW-XIII, thanks for the warm welcome.

We are in the same SETI group.. in fact... your in my SETI group!

But that’s a long, complicated, treacherous story for another day
:wink:

I've been meaning to register for the TTF group since the day it was launched. I kept forgetting Much to Ma... er.. Omni's dismay. So here I am! :lol:
