Hi Janina,
<smile> Touche! Touche! Actually, I think that probably my message
was written more for me than for Bill. I am, as I've said before, a
mercenary, and must use The Dreaded OS I teach it. So, I must
continually experience the difference between them. I am continually
faced with the fact that if people knew more about Linux they would
choose it in a second.
