    I thought they meant knowing in the biblical sense and I was gonna get some action early this year.

    Dude, are you for real? I mean really, who brags about having certificates from the "largest software company in the world"?

    Quantity does not infer quality.

    I can honestly say that the astounding number of vulnerabilities in Windows pays my house payment, car payment and for all my toys. There is no shortage of work when it comes to compensating for or trying to repair the damage done by the software from "the largest software company in the world."

    Long live Microsoft! (.....at least until I have enough money to retire comfortably. :^) )

    Can you tell me where I can find the Linux 7.0 webserver? Got any links?

    Since you know soooo much about the LinuxOS I figured you would know.
