I believe they have also shielded us in the UK from a lot of new draconian laws. When it's a choice between daft and draconian I know which I would pick ;-) But anyway that's a little off subject. My personal opinion is it would be great to septate the OS from the machine and give Ubuntu a chance; but, then I think how would I feel if I went out, brought a toaster and it wouldn't make my toast until I had toasted a dozen pop-tarts :-) Paul -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk </a> <a href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/">https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/</a></blockquote><div> You know that when you got a new toaster you shall let it go without bread 1-2 times before using? :P Of course the EU have done some great thing, but what for? My opinion is that takes some of our independence from us... Emil </div></div>
