AMDzone compiled statistics on the OS the visitors of their site use: Windows NT 4083401 28.62% Windows 2000 3855328 27.02% Windows 98 3750324 26.29% Windows ME 1391033 9.75% Other 443800 3.11% Windows 95 354613 2.49% Linux 247436 1.73% Macintosh 78949 0.55% SunOS 39067 0.27% OS/2 8362 0.06% IRIX 6427 0.05% HP-UX 3549 0.02% OSF1 1905 0.01% WebTV 1474 0.01% Windows 3.1 895 0.01% Windows CE 581 0.00% amdzone.com This seems to suggest to that the geeks (a large constituency of sites such as AMD Zone), who are often the self proclaimed Linux users are probably themselves using Windows. I bet that Windows partition of the multiboot computers they have is irresistible. Joe

"only text editor being VI" Man, I hear you. Never was able to memorize how to exit saving file <ggg> However, to escape the bronze age of Notepad, you may want to take a look at ultraedit.com Not bad, the "coulmn" mode is especially handy. But I still am not sure if it can find and replace non-printable characters... - Ali
