After my troubles with 7.1 I have about the same feeling. I am doing this as a learning experience and something to play with. It is obvious that for serious work for the home user, LINUX is NOT there yet. Maybe some day. Install trouble and lack of applications are the villains. Even if install trouble vanished the lack of applications that interface with the rest of the world would do it. The lack of applications PERIOD for my ham radio uses alone mandates windows remains. > -Original Message- > From: Kathleen Dickason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 4:48 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] Reply text goes ON TOP-Walt > > > Charles A Edwards wrote: > > > - Original Message - > > From: "walt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 2:18 PM > > Subject: RE: [newbie] Reply text goes ON TOP > > > > > So far I have not found anything useful on this list I wil be > > > unsubdcribing..the right way.
