yep. :)

well, I wouldn't invest in it either. :)

I tried using ICQ at work.. and it blew up my Windows installation
there. Now of course Windows is partially to blame, but ICQ is a timebomb

It's great to hear that your business has switched to Linux and that it's
working well.. I think the thing about people not knowing what Linux is is
changing..

I mean, there's a couple people at my school that know what Linux is, and
aren't even geeks. =) They aren't Linux advocates of course, but they know
what is it.
