I agree with you to a certain point But TR and IPX will be around FAR FAR long
er than "a few extra years" MF was supposed to die about 10 years ago.... and
my change control went in on Infoman! Trust me when I say that IPX and TR will
be around for a bit longer!
I'm glad they are taking out IPX/IGRP etc... these are "freebie" points as far
as I'm concerned.
