   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!
