Well, she is rabid into W2k or whatever her recent update is at the office.
She used to run macs at one place she worked, but now it is all Gatesware
for her.  The kid runs what the schools run.  But, now and then I can get
the kid to browse on the Suntoyz here in the office.  There may be some
hope for the kid, yet....(:+}}... I ought to outfit the kid with a good
SunLinux box as a starter, perhaps....hmmmm, something to think about.
