RE: EMC - a practical implementation?

StevieB,

If you have no interest in EMC and only want to berate people that are happy
using it, why are you wasting your oh so valuable time on a list that is
only about this software product that you feel is a waste of your time?

I have offered to invest my valuable time (and no you do not have any right
decide for me what is a waste or investment of this precious time) and help
you set up a machine on EMC. It seems you are more interested in tearing the
package down that actually tying it and seeing if it serves your needs.
