Sigh, you are right.
On the one hand, as a Linux geek from way back,
I have a small sense of pride in my lack of MS knowledge.
But I use MS; XP is a great desktop, Outlook is a great
mail client (I also use a Linux desktop and kmail is a great
mail client).

So, on the other hand, I know that there are a lot of
*nix people out there who endlessly bash MS without
any knowledge of that which they curse. I don't want to
be one of those.

When the ignorant ask honest questions, don't
get abusive, just answer them... Please?
