Not at all - BUT, it is interesting that now and only now -
you are<br>
elaborating on what is/was going on. To me, you would have
been better<br>
served if you started with much of what you said above and I
quote,<br>
<br>
"pretty much worked fine before the last round of updates",<br>
<br>
in the first place instead of voicing your frustration as you
did.<br>
We all have been there - and you too will get past this one
way or another.<br>
<br>
Give it a break for now, come back when cool heads prevail!<br>

I'd say going the Windows way is the right choice, at least for
now. <br>
I know Linux can be a pain sometimes, and 12.04 is not as polished
as it should be, and will be in a couple of months.<br>
Cheers!<br>

I really do apologize to the list. I lost my temper. <br>
<br>
But I now have a system that just doesn't work. It's taken me the
better part of an hour to even send this email. <br>
<br>
It seems the X11 is shot. I try to select a menu item (from any
program, Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome) and I get the selections that
used to be in the top panel.... Which I have no idea where that
went... <br>
<br>
Please don't tell me to reinstall... I need X fixed. Yes... I CAN
use a terminal... just don't want to!<br>
