I shouldn't answer you here .... but i risk it :-|
I've been living - quite comfortable - the last 18.5 years as a edp 
service-engineer. Had my first pc in 1984, worked with unix and all kinds of 
pc SW, except Novell - since 1982 ....
You know better, yes - great for you, but does that cure the problem you have 
?
Sorry that I tried to help.
mvh Ole Madsen
