I can safely say thousands of times. I support/build Windows machines
professionally.
I am a bit of a beginner with Linux however. Actually I prefer Linux but I
need a lot
more experience with it relative to Windows. I do aggree with you about
releasing
info on hardware. Some companies just don't get it. Now it is on to
learning how to
use GAIM.
thanks,
charles.....
