See, I wouldn't dare to guess. When I'm at work I set at three
different desktops, Sun, Windows and Linux. In my home we have
Windows, Linux and a Mac (ugh).

Hardly seems to be a monopoly - unless of course jealousy of success
constitutes a monopoly.

That seems debatable...when the US decisded property was an
inalienable right, their cousins in the UK were still bowing to a
king.

I wasn't speaking to you, though I'm glad you've shared, twice now.
Too bad the person I was speaking to failed to respond the first
time...we'll have to see what happens this time.
