Eek, that should not have happened. The only times I've had problems
with Linux was in the "old days" hwne a friend had a controller that
remapped the drive differently. Other than that, I've never had the
problems you've had. I realise this is not much consolation for you,
but ...

Insomuch as it entered my mind, yes, I did. It really wouldn't have
made much difference what gender we thought you were - we still
didn't know how to fix the problems you were getting. ;-)

Been a while since we had a woman on here posting as a woman (for all
I know 75% of the correspondents here could be girls - I've never met
most of them, but they post with boys names or neutral names) - the
last I seem to remember is Kimberley Schelt - anyone know where she
is and how she's doing?
