    Thanks for the heads up. I don't have Crossover, just OpenOffice.Org 
so when I finally get a navigator I'll just have to play to see what's 
what. If necessary I supposed I can always use XP in VirtualBox. I do 
that anyway to write software for work (Excel VB applications) so it's 
already on my system anyway. I just prefer to use Xubuntu if possible. 
(BTW, so as not to confuse anyone - I'm not a spreadsheet guru, nor am I 
a VB programmer except as a hobby. I write apps for my office since no 
one else does and maybe, just maybe, one day someone will say "Thankyou" 
to me for doing it <g> ).

    Can you touch type your emails?

    I'm sure the Swiss will be happy to hear you say that :) (You might 
have to explain to their Grand Poobah that I took your comments out of 
context).

    Aquatic views from the window?

    Not if you send it via Australia Post!!


See ya
