She has a few apps she's attached to, and, besides, she's my wife. Maybe it's our "chocolate-jalapeno" relationship, but if I use FreeBSD and prefer not to use Windows, she's going to prefer Windoze, safe bet. I've run FreeSBIE on her desktop box in the house, but she's not assured it's for her (and, I suppose, I've not done much to convince her). For the most part, it works, and my son likes his AOE ... but *I'm* a Serious User(tm) ;-) KDK -- The trouble with a kitten is that When it grows up, it's always a cat -- Ogden Nash.
