You need to talk to more computer newbies! I quit counting the number of
times someone has asked me about "Microsoft 98" (translation "Microsoft
Word 97") or "Microsoft 97" (translation "Microsoft Windows95").
Could be worse, he could have asked "Is this where I talk about Linux 9?".
While more technically correct ("Linux" is the product name), it is
pretty worthless.
