Didn't 9.2 come out last November?  Sorry if I have this wrong but I'm
sure it did.

That's a bit rich.  They stated that it would be ok to register them
so they shouldn't send snotty e-mails.  I'll ask my mate whether he's
had anything like that.  He registered his wife and two kids aswell. 
It might be due to the same address?  But if that were so what about
all the people who register who work for the same company who are not
related.

Well, I would actually love to be a Linux purist but until the
hardware manufacturers all decide to give equal support to Linux as
they do to M$ then I have to run Window$ for some things.

Hmmm, yes and no.  It's important to me because I really don't want to
be part of Billy boys pocket lining army.

I run separate PC's rather than dual booting.  The new PC will not run
Linux because the IDE channels get swapped round all over the place -
I will sort out 'IDE reverse' one day..... other than that my drives
are in removeable caddys.  It works for me :-)
