My point was more anyway that I'd like to see less "stupid" Windows bashing. Most of the critics I see here is as if we were still using Windows 9x. I'm a free software (as in free speech) defender but we must all recognize how good Windows XP is today, this is what we have to fight against. Windows XP is a very good operating system, we need to work very hard to do better. That is my whole point. BTW, ever tried to hibernate a GNU/Linux box ? Of course all this is far off topic for comp.lang.ada and I apologise :) Pascal. -- --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination" --| --| gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key C1082595
