1 - it appears as though you are using a VIC 20 with a 40 column display
to send email

2 - I loved the pictures of your stuff on your web site - do you have a
store front - sell stuff out of your house - whereabouts?

3 - Most of us as users tend to sit back and relax and click and can be
suckered in to a number of things. That doesn't make us dumb. I did kick
the habit of logging in as root a long time ago. That gives me a bit
more comfort.

4 - your anti Microsoft diatribes are unnecessary. They are good
competition, successful and will provide enough amusement when they
collapse inward from all of the weight.
