Oh! 8-o
I have (how to say this and not give up my 5th Amendment rights (as if
anyone cares about the Bill of Rights anymore (and I fully expect the
RIAA to be legally waterboarding teenagers who _might_ have downloaded
soon))) "secured" a DVD of a popular OS to use as a dual boot on his
machine, just as soon as I troubleshoot why his 3.5" drive isn't booting
the recovery image. But this might placate him.
Problem is (besides no time to do just about anything), what he _really_
wants is his M$ flight simulators.
And FWIW, I usually dismiss flash as foo-foo.

Our Founders expected that Christianity -- and no other religion --
would receive support from the government as long as that support did
not violate peoples' consciences and their right to worship. They would
have found utterly incredible the idea that all religions, including
paganism, be treated with equal deference.
- James Dobson's Family Research Council
Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan
of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by
inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the
plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion
was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to
comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the
Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every
denomination.
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography
