[wplug] Windows - Is this happening to you too?

[Robert E. Coutch]

Fading into open source and slowly back to Linux by stating:

I put Mozilla on the wife's Win98 PC and we'll be migrating her email over 
this week to Mozilla.  Too bad you can't completely remove IE from Win98.

I'm willing to bet the next time she gets hit like this SuSE Linux will be 
installed on her machine.


Thanks for all your comments on this,

Bob
