I _think_ my dad likes to have Exchange running partly because it
gives him practical experience when a customer calls up with Exchange
problems.  I think he has other reasons, too, but it's not really
worth arguing about, in my opinion.  It works adequately for him, and
there's not much point in mucking about with a functioning system.  In
my own case, I'd rather use something that's open source, and Free if
it's available, but I'm young enough that wasting time tinkering isn't
a waste.

I with you there and, in this case, there's a Linksys product between
the cable modem and the Microsoft software firewall.
