Same here, I just removed my dad's WinXP and replaced it with RH8. Once I converted all his lotus Wordpro files to .doc (handled the formatting better than converting to rtf) He was perfectly happy, (apart from OpenOffice loadup times), but he found it much easier to use and found the fonts 100% clearer for him. The only moan was that he couldn't find his fish screensaver that he had on WinXP (just game him the Atlantis one instead), ok he done it himself, yet he could never do it on XP :-) 1 up! He cannot even set the video recored after 6 years (and thats with instructions on the back :)) So it seems that RedHat are going in the correct direction for ease of use (just still keep the extra configuration for the oldtime RedHat users) Mark -- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
