WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY TELL ME ABOUT UBUNTU SOONER! :-)  Just kidding
I put the trial disk in and loved it. It did bomb once, but then it's 
running off of the CD-ROM.
Internet started right up OFF THE CD!
Say, in what directory does one usually save files?
I have Open Office on my XP and love it. So, I'm right at home in Oo.
I will have an Ubutu machine today via UPS. Can't wait!

1 print "Vista Error"
