My wife's a M$Windoze "Certified Engineer" (what a ridiculous concept!). One of the first things I do when I secure Windoze is to remove Outlook Express and Windows Instant Messenger from the default installation. So, to keep her quiet I installed the Gaim binary for M$Windoze onto her machine and set it up so that it logs her in automatically upon bootup. Didn't have any complaints yet. I am thinking that once she is familiar with the GUI (FF, Thundebird, Gaim) she will switch easier to Linux. -- Regards, Mick
