Well over 50, but have never been either a windoze or msdos user although we 
did have disk operating systems on several platforms.   I also programed via 
punchcards in college!  I had an Altair, a Pet, a C64, a C128, an Amiga 1000, 
a couple of Amiga 3000UX machines,  two Amiga 2000 video Toasters, an Amiga 
4000,  2 AmigaXL machines both of which are now running Mandriva 2008.1 and 
the latest, 2 Dell 1525n laptops!  Not one of those machines ever had any 
m'soft stuff even near them.  I did however repair other people's machines, 
was considered the best tech in town, but counted my blessings every day that 
I did not have to use such a horrible system.  Being near windoze users each 
day provided me with quite enough bad language!

Now WHY are deleted files showing back up?  Windoze used to just erase the 
first letter when "deleting" something,  ...is that the kinda thing we are 
doing in Ubuntu?
