And by submitting patches and feature suggestions to developers of open software (or possibly creating your own project), you are wrecking the "Cathedral" based software base that will someday become better by having no driving factor but larger commercial concerns. Also, if something new is out on the horizon, don't try it, because Microsoft more than likely has the better dumbed down solution for you. Please don't think. Leave that to the people who know better. You can't possibly learn more complex tasks like editing a file. It is far to hard for the likes of you, so please stick to checkboxes in dialogs that were designed by a focus group on what shape the butterfly should be. Kelly Black KB0GBJ
