She's not a Windows weenie, David. And she's certainly not so stupid as to believe that her PC won't be EXPONENTIALLY more stable with *nix than Windows. --- OTOH, if she's looking for Quicken for Linux, it doesn't exist yet. Other than that (and a few browser plugins), the functionality exceeds Windows, man. --- Maybe you should check it out. A lot has changed in the last year or so. --- Anyway, weren't you one of the guys that was saying that Windows didn't have a monopoly, citing Linux as an example? -JCJ

Dave, thanks for your input, but... I was first introduced to computers around 1953. Since then I have used many mainframes, running different operating systems and program in just about every language. I spent about 15 years using DEC's smaller PDP series, primarily the pdp1170, running UNIX. I am not afraid of battling with LINUX on my PC, just do not know if I want to spend the time fooling with it and also Void the Warrenty on my PC. I have plenty of complaints about MSFT's W98 -- not my favorite choice. The only program I would miss is Quicken. But anyhooooo I can segment the hard drive and run both -- which is what I would do IF I added LINUX. Computers have never scared me. I just do not want to chance having mine out of commission. Thanks again, Merry
