Im asking you developers to stop making Newbies jump through hoops to get 
what they clearly want. In case you didnt read my last email. the 32bit 
Firefox howto has 32k hits on it. The wine has 19k hits. If that isnt proof

clue and cant jump through the hoops. After all isnt that what Ubuntu is 
advertised to do?
