One reason I use BadBlue <http://www.badblue.com/> as my PC web server is that it's proven reliable and fiddle-free. It's not free like Apache, but I appreciate not having to tweak with my tools before I can get to work. (I still use Apache on my Linux server, but then it's better supported there.) And, in a nod to topicality, BadBlue supports PHP quite well. The reason I got it in the first place was to do offline web site development. I do most routine maintenance and testing on my PC, then upload the files to my Linux server. -- Bob Stout <rbs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> - The rules of life: "Either lead, follow, or get out of the way."
