Hi Janina,

<smile>  Touche!  Touche!  Actually, I think that probably  my message
was written more for me than for Bill.  I am, as I've said before, a
mercenary, and must use The Dreaded OS  I teach it.  So, I must
continually experience the difference between  them.  I am continually
faced with the fact that if people knew more about Linux they would
choose it in a second.

    Janina> I support Bill's adoption of the rejection approach.
