Alberto, many thanks for the response. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the correct address. I was forced to change when suddenlink bought the COX operation in my area, and apparently I failed to change my address with you. My apologies for the oversight. I hope things will work out so that you can continue to support Windows. I beat my head against the wall with Linux and finally gave up. There are just too many different variations and little issues that make it difficult for the casual user. I want my operating system to be a tool and not something that I have to spend more time maintaining it and trying to figure out why something doesn't work, than I do using it. I don't have time to waste trying to figure out why a given piece of software works on some other distribution and not mine.
