Thanks Bill. Looks a bit intimidating, but I'll dive in and see if I can pull it off. By the way, I just watched part of the introduction speech that Bill Gates gave today at the opening of Comdex. I find this hard to believe, but he just said the following: 7 million Windows XP licenses sold in the first 2 weeks. That's 2 times as much as ANY other Windows OS launch previously. Let's see if the media gets hold of these figures and tells the general public. Dave

Bill: You have struck a chord here. Free Linux is like a carpenter assembling a hammer and saw from the scrap heap. What these guys don't understand is that a computer is a tool and if the O/S to run it isn't worth the price then one should really question whether they need the tool - a computer in this case.
