Then stop whining Marlin. :-) There's just no pleasing some
folks...... If you are a completely stupid fool when it comes to
computers buy a Macintosh, but when you have a problem it is more
difficult to fix. If you are half intelligent get a pc, there is
always someone not too far away who will fix it if you have a problem. If
you're really smart, know some geeks, and want the best multitasking get
unix. I'm lucky, I have access to them all. :-) That's the smartest
thing to do. :-)
