-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm truly feeling puzzled. I was not distracted so much as confused by the security measures at first. Eventually (after several new viruses went around) I appreciated them and it didn't take long to get used to them. In a few cases, it is a bit of a pain, but you can always log on as root and not have any further security issues, if you want (however, better have a very good firewall in place if you get on the 'Net -- I didn't once and had to reinstall my system -- lost some user files, as well.)
