If it wasn't a Microsoft thing then you wouldn't see so many people bitching. I work with hardware day in and day out and it's a real joy to work with Linux. When I come to a Microsoft box I just shudder cause I know I'm going be stressed out trying to get windows to accept new hardware. That's of course after rebooting upteen times. -- Richard L Proctor Krystal Computer Services PC Upgrades & Repairs www.krycom.com 480-699-3098
