I waited a while to post this.

Computers are tools or toys. In normal life, not everyone needs a
framing hammer or a ball-peen hammer and most don't know the difference
between one claw-type and another. The same holds true of computers and
their SCPs (System Control Program or O/S).

Most people are completely unaware that they have options as to
browsers. Some don't know that they don't have to use anything that M/S
produces.

While I might take a swipe at M/S from time to time, I realize that
most people want things to work right out of the box. If it weren't for
me being the IT guy here where I am, IE would be the browser used. But
because I was able to get Netscape to work with that clicky thing, and
Eudora met all their needs for email, those M/S products don't get
used.

Just wait until I finish configuring the Linux KDE system and get all
the Office products working under Linux...
Later,
