Re: ADSML person...

Naw, you folks are just jealous.

If you disagree, then a good counter would convince the masses you were

2 things to remember when using ADSM
1) Don't stress.
2) Expect the unexpected.

ADSML
*** A little play on big .sig's ***
Super Storage Management Big Buzzword Cheese
Super Flashy Certification that Wows the Family
Working for the Masses who don't know any better
Teaching people that ADSM is like Murphy's Law..Live with it...
