        Tim,

        I agree with you 100%... But then, look again at the *two* qualifications
I placed on the mini setup for SP5:

        1) Only 1 or 2 machines;

        2) Slow modem connection.

        "(S)ince I [you] deal with large numbers of computers" then most likely
you also have an Internet connection that could sustain a 36 megabyte
transfer without being bounced. If not, write back and I'll set up a
private FTP session for you. :)

        [Note: This offer is open to all... Write me off list.]

        Cheers!
        Dan
