Hey, it's all good. Nothing uncivil was meant by my comments (notice the
"lmao" and ";-D"). I laughed all the way to the send button!

The bottom line, I think, is that everyone has a different use for Linux
(and its variants). We all have our opinions about what works best and
what doesn't. We all have our peculiarities about the way we like things
set up. This is what makes the open source world so great--we have these
choices. So, though I disagree with Jim (are you a native Arizonan?), I
still respect his right to do things his way--that doesn't mean I won't
give him, or anyone else, crap for doing things like that. Besides, *my
way* is the right way--didn't you get the memo? :-P
