The point at which I got rather serious about using Linux (Ubuntu) was a few years ago, when my volume of email outgrew Pegasus and my main desktop got thoroughly infected by JavaScript-ed emails that Thunderbird couldn't disable. It seemed my most practical alternative was to go on using Thunderbird, but in a non-Windows environment so most infectious scripts wouldn't find targets they recognized. (I did sarch, more than once, for something like the Firefox "NoScript" plug-in for Thunderird. I found half a dozen public posts by people who said they were trying to create one, but no sign that any had yet offered even a beta version....)

To answer Felix's question, my reason for considering Linux is that Windows seems to be going in a direction that is not consistent with my needs. I don't need a consistent interface between my cellphone and desktop. PCSOFT's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Mark Rode<[log in to unmask]>
