Yes, hearing that makes it seem even stranger. And I  do recall when I
first tried installing Linux on my old computer, I had trouble as the
graphics card in it wasn't supported. But still, I could at least see
the desktop. It just displayed rather oddly!

Haven't heard it he has it squared away now or not. Hopefully, OS 4
will be out before he has to fight with it too much longer. :-)
