Isn't that right Dan?

Just keep on truckin', dude. I wish you well.

Ignore the fact that the most destructive virus in the history of computing
involved Unix (Linux) operating systems.

"Back in the day" when anyone that could operate the keyboard was the new

Is that what you're talking about?

If you had working knowledge of both current systems, I might listen.

I've used both systems and have both running on different boxes in the house.
Have a laptop that is still dual boot.

Wife uses Windows and maintains it well.
We have used Knoppix Linux to remove a bug though. It runs from a CD.

I'm doing great! Thanks.
