One of the reasons that I do not read or write to the Linux sites is
that they are full of zealots that interpret any post except a paean

They sound like Apple fanbois. iPhone fanbois are a rabid group,
too....great fun to pick on, though...(c;]


The last Apple I had was an Apple ][ so I am not up to speed on the
subject but I know that the Apple users can be a loyal bunch - a
friend is a Civil Engineering consultant on a project in Taiwan. He
gets all the drawings in Auto-Cad format and has to use some sort of
translator so that he can view them on his Apple lap-top. I asked him
why not get a Windows machine for the project and got a 30 minute
lecture about Apples...

Me, I use whatever works.

Cheers,

Bruce
