Emphasis on "think windows works". I havent found any Linux apps that work the way Windows _actually_ works. I might hate some of them less if they did. Of course MS seems unable to remember how Windows worked, when it worked. Which mean i guess I shouldnt hold it agains the Linux folks either. At least they have an excuse, that of not using a Windows since that horrible version that nobody who ever actually used Windows ever tried to use. (That would be the one about 4 versions before the one the one that was actually half decent to use.) Whereas the Windows guys appear to have systematically thrown all the decent features away and replaced them with rubbish. They all suck. We should go back to abacuses (or is abaci?), or slates of mud and sharply pointed sticks...... Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
