Yes.........and it all is done via someone reading off of a monitor. ;) The 
Linux "answers" could be made available to the tier 1 people just as easily 
as the MAC and 'Bloze material is.

Now that Verizon is FINALLY making DSL available in some of our areas, anyway, 
I will be busy replacing 'Bloze with SUSE, as there are a number who have 
Net. access via Directway.....it's been their only choice for broadband 
access. I'm going to enjoy this year, I think. :)
