                      Unix, just can't get to grips with remembering "grep > asdas | {dsds} < 1212 > ls -l" type commands, plus is has not user interface.

                        Vista and win 95 Xp can be a bit of a pain at times but it is by far better than vista. I especially hate UAC in vista

                                          Unix, just can't get to grips with remembering "grep > asdas | {dsds} < 1212 > ls -l" type commands, plus is has not user interface.

                                          .net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.
