BM>Hi Daryl!

Hi, Barry,

BM>And I found later with WordPad.  Or at least here with XP.

  I had BSOD's at times with XP, but I really liked it. Haven't yet had
a BSOD with Windows 7...although I probably shouldn't say that too loud.
<G>

BM>Which just added to the reasons for me to switch to Linux.  I have
BM>reasonably current/fast/etc. computers which work fine with XP, and
BM>while I can appreciate the latest-and-greatest I really don't feel the
BM>need to upgrade.  Just like I can appreciate and admire a brand new car
BM>I really don't have the need nore desire for one.  (And yes, when I do
BM>get a new motherboard and CPU, etc., it will be reasonably current - and
BM>last for a decade or so.)

  I'm not much for learning new things...too much else on my mind right
now.

BM><chuckle>  That kind of thing was rather nice back in the day.  Every so
BM>often I see To Do Lists, FAQs for utilties created and supported by
BM>individuals -- "why doesn't <utility> have this option?" "Because I
BM>didn't need it but you're welcome to figure out how to do it and add."

  There you go.

BM>And you like to go back to those roots nightly!

  You got that right. Reminds me of when I had to have a cardiac
catheterization done, and of course, you have to lay on your back.
Trying to pee into a urinal laying down is a joke. When the nurse asked
me "did we spring a leak?", I growled "No, I just felt like peeing in
the bed". :P
