But in this case, I'm just passing along info that may or may not be known to the general public. That's just my point that a lot of people have no clue, but if they are kept in the dark, then they are going to, at some point, have major problems - maybe a total wipe-out. As much as we rely on computers for our back office work, I would hate to see someone lose -everything- just because they chose to stay in the dark -and- emails like the one I just sent are squelched.

There are really very few people that are totally enamored with M$, and there are also innumerable non-technical types that don't have a clue what you're talking about. There are innumerable people that are aware of Apple products, but choose M$ because the h/w is significantly cheaper. Casual users (which I am reasonably certain includes a lot of people on this list) don't have significant problems with M$. I'm a Windows guy 'cuz that's what I started with. I'm also an old mainframe hack, I own an iMac, and I also run a Linux server... but "my computer" is a Windows XP machine. I'll wait for SP1 before I go to Vista (which is what the Feds you held up as proof that M$ is crap are doing.)  I am hardly "in love" with M$... I just know my way around it quite well... and if I get stumped, I have numerous friends who can help with a simple phone call. I have no such support (nor personal firsthand knowledge) of Linux or Apple. You're just alienating your fellow techs by your incessant rants against RPT and M$ Paul <div>On 4/1/07, Hechler Family <<a href="mailto:dahechler@charter.net"> dahechler@charter.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">Microsoft confirms animated-cursor flaw <a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/472?ref=rss" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/472?ref=rss</a> </div> </blockquote> </div> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="133">-- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild Reed Organ Society Member St. Louis, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dahechler@charter.net">dahechler@charter.net</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com">www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com</a> </pre> </body> </html>
