lol.  You know I try to be an honest person, but I have to agree with you 
sometimes you have to just say yep, windows xp with all the updates.  I guess 
I just had a bad experience.  The first droid I got WOULD not help me BECAUSE 
I was using linux.  Maybe he was fed up with linux guys that day.

Although on a side note, when I called bellsouth last week, the guy started 
walking me through clearing my DNS cache in windows until I told him I was 
running linux, AND that I was running my own name server, and was a little 
past his instructions.
