   Yes, hearing that makes it seem even stranger. And I  do recall when I   
   first tried installing Linux on my old computer, I had trouble as the   
   graphics card in it wasn't supported. But still, I could at least see   
   the desktop. It just displayed rather oddly!   
      
   Haven't heard it he has it squared away now or not. Hopefully, OS 4   
   will be out before he has to fight with it too much longer. :-)
