    This forever repeated Re:The rename Command... is a Summer waste 
time email. From the very beginning of Linux the Windows users had to 
learn that rename is not part of the commands. We used "mv" and it has 
worked for all this time. It still does.

    It is interesting that now you seldom see a message of someone who 
can't load Hardy and needs help. It appears everyone has it loaded now. 
Now it's people trying to get Hardy to do something unusual.

    For me I am very happy with Hardy as it was made to operate. I don't 
need to operate Windows because I hate windows! My Wife hates Windows 
and threatens to buy a MAC. I Googled MAC and the new ones appear to be 
Linux with just a few odd kinks. They make their own BIOS which is 
pretty terrible :-)

    I am going to get someone to recommend trying Linux. Then explain it 
is just like a MAC and see how that flies.
