Hello everybody,
I re-read the posts I sent earlier and I got the impression that "this guy
really hates MS products". The fact is that I don't, I really like most of the
products of Microsoft (Office is great and Windows is a great OS for a desktop
computer).
Quoting aardvark: "better is irrelevent... more appropriate is relevent... ".
Windows just wasn't designed to run for 'always' and to be a network computer,
with the exception of WinNT which is really trying and doing OK, but could be
better. Still, Win and other MS products are pretty good

Really? Several sources have told that ASP can be only run on Microsoft
products.

You know, you're right. I've been a member of this list since the 7th of May and
I have seen very few hostile responses. Keep it up dudes and dudettes!

By reading your posts, I think that I'll go with the standard. Now, can anybody
name the URL's of good tutorials on ASP. For now, I need to learn the basic
stuff, like displaying form data, mailing it, adding it to a database and simple
mathematical functions.
Yours,
Lauri
