I've been a 100% Linux user now for a year and half. I was an "advanced newbie" when I converted from a dual boot machine to a full time Mandrake box. I'd done UNIX administration even before that. But after all that time, I've still found a use for Micro$HAFT products! MSN sent me a disc about 8 months ago I think. The one with the kewl stylized butter fly on it. It's the coaster I use on my end tables! lol When I watch a movie, that's where I place my beverage! Looks pretty sweet actually. Other then that, I have no use for Micro$HAFT in my life. Meanwhile my girlfriend still uses Windows98, I'm working on getting her switched over to Linux as well. I've already switched my 19 year old sister over. She's been on a Linux box for 8 months now! tdh -- T. Holmes ----------------- UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- "Real Men Use Vi!"
