I always had to use Microsoft because my Dad owned the computer. It's like jumping off the end of a pier when you start using Linux. He's always been a little untrusting of what can be downloaded for free. Not that I blame him. He has led a safe, albeit boring, computer existence. His home network is being served by a piece o' crap box with a copy of Novell on there older than I am. I told him I would redo his network for free, but he didn't like that idea. Hans
