Microsoft and its OS’s are not that much better. Gaping holes discovered in their OS and layered apps every day. The problem with *nix is that there are just too many variations of it. I started a year after you with computers, around 1980. Although discouraged at times, I refuse to fight back and give up. Unfortunately, defense is a part of each and every day’s workday. I’d rather be sipping Margueritas on some Island, believe me !!!
