Linux and data storage?

[Sina Bahram]

No..i believe you previously stated that you were on my case about
Windows...are we changing the issue now?

Janina...that's exactly all you are...you're just on my case...you're not
helping by attacking me for something I didn't even suggest, namely using
Windows, and I don't see how the helps things at all...

Take care,
Sina

Exactly why I'm on Sinna's case about this. He's clouded and confused
