Computer buffs: Microsoft NT Workstation and Server Identical

Copying the entire article is a pretty blatant violation of copyright,
even if it is from a web page.

PLEASE folks -- don't do this!  Besides the little fact that this is
THEFT, I don't really want to be held liable should Infoworld or anyone
else decide to go on a little witch hunt and track down everyone who
copies and distributes entire articles.  I seriously doubt if Bro Tyler
(list co-owner) or Bro Robert Brown (who keeps the H-F list archives)
would want to be sued either.

Below I attach WITH PERMISSION a slightly relevant article :-)

          Ten Persuasive Arguments for Stealing Candy Bars 
		  ------------------------------------------------


1. Everybody does it. 

   I even know some Christians who steal candy bars. 

2. You probably won't get caught. 

   Because the practice is so widespread, and there is so little
   enforcement, the chance of being caught are slim.

3. Even if caught, prosecution is doubtful. 

   You probably wouldn't be taken to court or tried anyway.

4. It doesn't involve much money. 

   Stealing a car, or a boat, or something like that -- well, that's
   different. But candy bars cost so little; taking them is certainly not
   serious.

5. The owners will never miss it. 

   There are millions of candy bars circulating about our world. Who's
   going to miss one or two?

6. It will save you money. 

   Stealing candy bars on a regular basis can add up to a substantial
   savings. After all, we are to be good stewards of our money -- and that
   means cutting expenses everywhere we can.

7. It will save you time. 

   Stealing candy bars saves time in the checkout line. Better yet, if you
   can steal them at work it will save a trip to the local candy store, or
   worse, a long wait for a mail order supplier to send your bars.

8. The law is confusing. 

   I'm not a lawyer and you know how confusing legal matters are. Some say
   it is OK, others say don't, hey, go ahead and take a few until they
   straighten out this mess and make it clear to all of us?

9. The owners are Christians anyway. 

   If the owners are Christians, we Christians should have a right to
   steal a few candy bars. After all, they shouldn't be trying to make
   money off other Christians.

10. It's for a good cause. 

   Now I might be persuaded that stealing for personal benefit is
   questionable, but certainly stealing for the congregation, choir, or
   Sunday school class wouldn't be wrong, would it?
