I've been with Linux a long time. And I'll continue to stay. I break out in a rash every time I need to walk up to a Windows box. Sometimes "junk" just builds up, and ya gotta dump it somewhere. And for the record: I don't begrudge Mandrake the right to make their money. We all help to that end when we buy the boxed sets. What got my goat was when they started looking for hand-outs on top of what they already get for paid support, and purchases of boxed sets. It looks like buying the boxed set is no longer enough, but we all have to "join the club" as well. I charge my customers too. But only once. But enough ranting. Sorry for disturbing everyone. I'll crawl back into my cave now. And yeah, I feel better now. Thanks. (gotta lay off that late night coffee...;) Ric
