I'm terrified to even touch Windows XP with a 10-foot-pole.
Michael S Czeiszperger & Don Rosenberg:
What was the app you mentioned that lets Word, etc. run on Linix? I don't 
want to make a career out of learning curving right now; I need to share 
files that run on Windows, but I need to look ahead, to the next 18 months.
Thanks

"Microsoft's desire to control the future of computing might provide the boost
that open source needs."
