Interesting message, I even forwarded it, to a lot of Windows users.
:-D I
don't know about the fascination of people wanting to have all of their

Microsoft, especially since hard drives are getting cheaper all the time.
However, the OO team seems to be neglecting Windows 98/Millennium lately. :-(
Ah, well, now that's a minor detail for Linux users. ---Jim
