<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It was good to be using Ubuntu for about a month. I lost my Thunderbird mails as I had to reinstall Ubuntu. Even though I had a copy of the mails on CD, I could not restore them in the new installation even after going through various How Tos.

<div>I had to remove Ubuntu and reinstall XP, buy a licensed software to convert my thunderbird mails to .eml format and print them. Even though Ubuntu was free, I still had to pay heavily for it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ubuntu as well as Linux distros have a long journey to make before they can compete with Windows which I had to learn the hard way. Now I have to get my XP activated again...:-(</div>

<div>Regards</div>
