Miss, you seem to very rather good at claiming to know what i would hate or what i might not. If i did not want to learn Linux in this fashion I would not have suggested it. Given how you seem to treat others, I can only guess that information provided by you for others to review would be equally disrespectful. I will skip your suggestion thanks. And, I know the list content factor has nothing to do with my computer. Why ever would I think as much? I am,however, going to cut down that message and post it so that *others* can give their opinion.
