   Thanks! Alan,   
      
   There's a lot of things that I don't know or never heard about business   
   computer systems.   
      
   Appreciate learning that tidbit.   
      
   The fellow I talked to works as a Programmer, and He told me that the   
   companies IT Department had Him and Everyone Else set up as Limited   
   Users and He complained to them long enought about not being able to   
   Run His Programs (that He was writing for the company) so He could test   
   them out, that they finally gave in and gave Him Admin Access.   
      
   In 1996 when I began using a dial-up internet account I used Netscape,   
   I believe it was their Navigator 2.11 version, but my memory is rusty,   
   it might had been called Communicator, I think the 2.11 version number   
   is correct though, but there I go thinking again.   
      
   Facts are Facts and what I think ain't always so.   
      
   I might had asked You this before:   
   I'm thinking Commodore computers were used in Your Classroom.   
   Were they networked?    Thanks!
