Actually that's not true any more - it used to be a very valid point back in
the days of NT4 but win2k and 2003 are much smarter in this regard. There's
no harm atall in making every page in a site .asp - if nothing else it means
you have the option of adding asp code later without having to rename pages
or worse lose your search engine ranking.
