been using it for donkeys years, since when i was programming in rexx...

nice app, latest version has a hiccup in vista but still rules...

when my pc died in the **** and l had to replace my video card, power source, and they re-formatted the hard drive after saving the data, thet echs would only re-load the data not the software.

which was a big favour as l took the opporutnity to load open office instead of re-loading micro soft office

and instead of outlook and explorer l run mozilla thunderbird and sunbird

l hate windows and microsoft

next computer will be an imac

Add IBM/Lenovo, Dell, Acer.
More and more vendors giving the option of Linux.
More new low cost PC's coming out as well.

If you want to install Linux onto a new system, just get a white box. You can get the hardware you want, you don't pay the badge fees on labelled boxes and you don't have to pay for unnecessary Windows licenses.

Then again, buy a Mac. Leopard is now the fourth certified Unix operating system. That means all the others, including SCO (amusing fact that) aren't certified.

Geez Ron,

Makes me feel young when you talk like that.

Do you remember Qbasic??

Still think that Linux is the way to go.
