List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, Buddy, I think it's because we're already used to tinkering and experimenting with untrodden paths and methods for getting things done. We're also used to communicating with others and computers is an easy step from radio. I've noticed a great many hams are involved in Linux. There aren't so many involved in the Windows game. I think it's because there's no room for individualization, no experimentation, no challenge to the brain. Everything is done for you and there's not much you can do outside the pale. Dunnow if that's all true, but it's what comes to mind at the moment. 73.s, Ann P., n2gsx -- Ann K.
