Content preview: Hi Alberto Yes I deliberately posted a very clipped OT comment so as not to start a tirade. Thanks. Why do the insults have to start flying when you mention Windows and its foibles. There is till backward compatability which constrains Windows. I said nothing about Linux. It does really surprise me how the younger generation accept an OS that has so many problems then argue in support of it. I hope they do not expect the same reliability from the ILS computer that brings them down in fog at the airport.
