	Is it not funny how much we are creatures of habit, like monks ! I had become
used to this way of controlling windows. I use keyboards key commands mostly
and they were still the same.

	Again, the habit syndrome. The PC is so ubiquitous that it involves quite a
bit of retraining. One case in point is my brother, he has finally taken up on
the Thinkpad, mind you his intellect is way above average, doctorate and all.
He is getting unidirectional training and that has helped the process a lot.

	  I just had a look at this URL, seems like a very nice site, I have it
bookmarked even if I do lot live in VR as the first line says. say a good word
for me so I will not be rejected. ;-)

	I will be on line on the 29th, to D/L the .iso. I like any LTS version. I
still have not adopted U'u full time, I am caught in this PC habit still, I
mean Windows. U'u to me is more like a curiosity. This last install of three
days ago, was so seamless, it saw all that I had connected. My hat is off to
the coders.
