I find it more telling that he NEEDS a "throat to choke...." I assume this is due to crashes, lost data, hung programs, BSOD's, viri, worms, and all the rest of the wonderful accompaniments to the world of M$. I used to feel much the same way...until I started using linux and found that while there may be some frustrations they can be managed, and best of all, by me, myself, with a little effort. My biggest upset with M$ was that I could not fix problems but had to simply endure their continual recurrence, leaving me looking for a "throat to choke...." Richard
