If you make a product that idiots can use, only idiots will use it. :) It took me 4 months to so to be able to reliably exit vi withouth having to hang up the modem. Come on, this is unix, its not supposed to be that easy. All well, I'm standing in the way of progress again. Have a good one. (If it gets any easier to use, the tech-support weenies are going to be able to figure it out and I'll really have problems. *shudder* Imagine the trouble they could get into if they had an OS that made sense most of the time. At least with Linux they just wander in circles alot. I won't be able to say "I dunno why your box is broke, I don't use Linux." *sigh*) | Matthew N.
