Again, the new mantra: Linux is not for the masses. I say the above as one who enjoys Linux. Unless or until there is access in Xwindows there is so much truth to what he says. Java-script is not an evil plot. It will not go away. There are good reasons for it. But aside from all that, Linux still won't be for the masses. Guess what? There are things that are easier in windows. And I say that as someone who knows a lot of what he is doing in both places. ========= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
