 Have you read my reply to John Clement ? Please enlighten yourself.

 I do have NT only for fun, as I said its been lying there for three months,  
 broken, I don't use it for much, and never to browse the internet even behind
 my linux firewall, I pretty happy with linux in my two machines and
 one day I will try to get a job as a linux admin.

 I spread the word of linux, and right now I am trying to set it up in the    
 charity I volunteer for. 

 So please next time don't be so fast.  You don't have to convince me.

 Cheers, 

                                  Formi.
