Who said it was hard? I've been using Unix for over 20 years, and I wouldn't know how to recompile a kernel and, at present, anyway, have no desire to know. I use it for my business - technical writing and instructional design - and, literally have no time to dig beneath the surface. I've learnt one or two things along the way, and will probably learn more as time goes on, but the direction your knowledge takes is as variable as the individual and their needs and inclination. Ralf has it spot on. You're arrogant. Cheers! Harry -- `The World is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look on without doing anything'. -- Albert Einstein
