| the1, I have suggested before, order Ubuntu on CD from the web page - it is FREE as in $$$$$ and 1000 times better than the other stuff - I added a virus checker just so people can see their email has been scanned... go on, give it a try.... Ubuntu (and most other Linux "flavours" come with an office suite, email, web browser and music players - too easy....

| I'm going to give old Linus another run soonish... I will set up a dual boot with Ubuntu on my backup PC on your tip M... cheers. Jim there is plenty of good free stuff on Windows, just steer clear of most of MS's offerings and you won't be a target. Opera - best browser by a country mile, used by so few its never a target. Avast - Anti Viral and On Access Scanning, has not failed me in close to a decade. Comdo Firewall - A bit more complex but a very precise tool. Windows Defender - OK it is MS's but started out life as Giant (?!) and is mainly there for IE spyware attacks so thats cool. Would you believe I use Opera, Firefox and IE on a daily basis. Opera is the main browser, Firefox when a badly coded site is targeted to the main browsers and not a coding standard and IE when some FWit lazy assed programmer has coded some complete bollocks that only functions with IE (happens more often than I like to see...).

| Jim, it will not hit you at first but take time to learn and configure Opera to your liking and you will be amazed. Start with learning mouse gestures... Its worth the effort IMO.. Cheers MBz |
