I've been assisting a friend over the last few days with problems with 
their computer.  Windows 2000 server.  Running REAL SLOW.  Long story 
short, had them install some virus software, started it scanning and 
it's been running since.  It's found over 500+ nimda infected files.

I returned this evening, to finish the clean up.  Handed him a freshly 
burned set of Red Hat 7.3 and explained how he could set up a dual boot, 
until he get's over his addiction to that leech

No guarantees he'll go that route, but he called me just a few minutes 
ago with some questions.  He's decided to go ahead an install it on his 
laptop instead of worrying about a dual boot on his primary machine. :)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
