   Whilst perusing Usenet on Tue, 20 Feb 2007 06:50:29 +0000,   
   I read these words from Moog  :

   I honestly doubt that I'll use Linux _full-time_.   
      
   I came the DOS, 3.11, NT4, W2K, XP Pro route   
   and having to change and re-learn all the programs   
   I use seems like an awful lot of hard work.   
      
   I'm retired so it's only a hobby . . .   
      
   Although, once I'm a bit more familiar with Ubuntu,   
   I suppose I could have a look at WINE . . .

   I'm just South of Glasgow but I regret to say that   
   when neither of you arrived, I drank your drinks !   
   (Couldn't have them going to waste, could I ?)

   Certainly I've got a stack of books and manuals here   
   but it's surprising just how much a few pointers in the   
   right direction can help.
