        | Hardly. I don't know of an operating system that yanks the
file contents off
        | of your screen when someone else on the network deletes them.

Windows?

        (Ferris Bueller)
        | Hardly. Unless he was using some sort of remote control
software (like
        | PCAnywhere) or the principal was running a BBS, I don't know
of a program
        | that shows someone editing database fields in realtime.

Well, the bit about seeing the cursor move was dramatic license, but
certainly there are numerous databases that will show dynamic updates in
real time.


        | Actually I still think she's cute. I wish I had a cute chick
        | interested in me when I was a total teenage computer geek
(yeah right).

Well... there was the english professor's daughter, Becka... but she
wasn't interested in my computer, she liked my... er... poetry.
