My other half won't use linux, I'm trying to confince her. So I have to have
a windows machine, plus the laptop from work. 

I am also setting up IMAP so I (and her) can access mail from her parents
house via dialup. I darn't put linux on there, they can only just understand
clicking on the little piccys on screen.
