I was refering to the selection of English sites. If an
English-language website refuses to use compliant code, then chances
are that there will be a competing site that does. We don't have that
selection. The opposite- it seems that all the Israeli sites use the
same Microsoft technology to author the site. Am I supposed to tell
the entire industry to switch tools because there is one idiot in
Haifa that won't let his wife use Windows?

They may not be decent- but they are state-of-the-industry. That is
the state of the industry here.

I just tried to open a .doc that I got in the mail today from a
catering company. Unreadable in Writer 1.9: I can't even see letters.
I disk-on-keyed it to the XP box and it looked just like it was, well,
just as if it was written for that program! That may be because it was
in hebrew. But I'm not going to tell every company to send me their
proposals in this-or-that format. Then I'd be no better than Ety's
professor!

I just installed FC4 this morning, and have not yet added one single
program, except for the yum update. And here I type in Gmail, faster
than the letters can appear on the screen. It's like typing on telnet.
This was a fresh install, no update. AMD Duron, 512mb ram. I flip the
KVM over to the P4, 256mb ram WinXP box and have no problem typing. I
think that the letters appear before I raise my finger from the key.

If he's learning it for the first time- then yes. If he's relearning
from a windows background, then that's something else.

Yeah, I hate the reset-crap. I just had a bad experience with that
stupid XP box deciding to update itself and then reset itself at 4 in
the morning while I was downloadeding FC4 on it in my sleep- it reset
itself while two of the disks were at 638mb and 626mb from a total of
640mb!!! I couldn't restart the transfers.... AAGGGHHH!!!!

Here's where I found a way to make a difference- I switched ISP's when
I installed FC3. My ISP said that they don't support Linux, I said
goodbye. I called all (three) of the local ISP's and made it clear
that I don't want a month free and I don't want a ballon. I want tech
support for linux. I found one, thankfully.
