You can interpret this in very different ways. My wife knows what Linux is, well; but she has a hard time telling the difference between "Windows", "Winword", and "Microsoft"�. Might just as well that "He" struggled to explain her the difference, telling that an alternative to "Winword" is "Openoffice", while an alternative to "Windows" is "Linux". So this would just mean he was glad that she learned the lesson... Regards, Frank �and also between "Linux", "TeX", "Emacs" and "Shell". She just doesn't see it made up of parts, it's simply the box where she writes the nice-looking letters, compared to the ugly-looking ones at work. -- Frank K�ster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
