Casimir,

I appreciate your suggestion about Yakuake, and will pursue it. One of 
the things I can to Linux for was more direct access to the system. This 
will facilitate that.

Your sarcasm, however, is a poor rhetorical choice. In my experience, 
those who resort to this are either following poor models (we don't all 
come from great families) or scared - they can't imagine surviving what 
would happen if they simply spoke their mind.

I suggest you shoot straight or keep it put away. I did get it from the 
start that you're a high energy guy, but that doesn't get you off the 
hook, any more than's Zed's being wronged (if we assume he gave correct 
report of it) excuses his writing like he's 14 years old, which he 
surely isn't.

I didn't take offense at your mis-characterizing what I wrote. I just 
ignored it. I think Peter has you to rights - I'm not defending Windows. 
I'm expressing a liking for putting things all in one dir. I was asking 
why anyone would do it otherwise. Fair question. Peter explained why, 
and now I'm informed. Fair exchange.

Your considerable energy would go further if you just spoke plainly. I 
hope we may see that in the future.

Tom
