Is that you, Lennart? But seriously, if it works, why junk it? Before I retired, I had to put up with Windows at work. Every new version totally re-arranged the user interface system admin stuff to the point that enough of "everything you know is wrong" that you have to re-train your employees. Great if you're a commercial "Windows Trainer" that charges big buck, but lousy if you're a business that has to pay for retraining. Here's my question to you... why should we junk software that works, i.e. it does what we need? I want a real reason. The fact that it's old is not a justification. Neither is "teh shiney". -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
