Sorry about that - I wasn't trying to insult or offend you. I just let my 
utter lothing for Windoze, Microsoft, the evil empire, shareware, nagware, 
software that doesn't work, spies on you, compromises your security and 
privacy, et. al. get the better of me. I'll try not to do that in the future. 
Good luck with securing your Windoze boxes - you'll need it.

Anthony
