There are always those who will expound upon the weaknesses of something
strange or disliked even though they may have no experience with the
strangeness. There are those who will also lie outright to achieve their goals.
So I frequently told my children as they grew up to believe only 10% of what
you read, 20% of what you hear, and 50% of what you see, and question
everything. This list is a combined 80%. Ha! I have found as much or more help
in the linux community as I was ever able to find with windoze. The spirit of
linux is outstanding! May the Penguin live forever. Dennis
