Defenestrate your computer! I object against defenestration of my computer: I find windows very handy as long as they are not capitalized. Anyway, from what one hears, Cygwin is a great missionary for free operating systems: it gets people hooked on free software running at a quarter of the speed (when we are talking about heavily I/O bound applications like version control systems). And it teaches people to hate CRLF line endings, too. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
