Yes, Jay!  It's not necessary to shout at me.  I understand completely!
Eventually (if enough people keep spreading "the word"), Symantec will
loose enough market share and either a.) change their business practises,
b.) get rid of their C.E.O., c.) get sold to someone who knows how to do
things right, d.) go bankrupt.

I hope you have noticed my mail to Charles A. (and other) regarding my W2K
problem and the fact that the e-mail address has changed from
addison.kimmel to gerald.miller (same ISP address)...  Unfortunately, I
didn't have an opportunity to transfer my address book from the W2K box to
the XPP box, so I will have to keep a close eye on e-mail coming to the XPP
box in the event that MailWasher wants to trash it.

           Cheers ... Gerald
