It's certainly less powerful than prename. All it does is simple string
substitution with no regex wildcards. (However, I should point out,
this 'pretty useless' is exactly what you're doing here)


This forever repeated Re:The rename Command... is a Summer waste
time email. From the very beginning of Linux the Windows users had to
learn that rename is not part of the commands. We used "mv" and it has
worked for all this time. It still does.

It is interesting that now you seldom see a message of someone who
can't load Hardy and needs help. It appears everyone has it loaded now.
Now it's people trying to get Hardy to do something unusual.

For me I am very happy with Hardy as it was made to operate. I don't
need to operate Windows because I hate windows! My Wife hates Windows
and threatens to buy a MAC. I Googled MAC and the new ones appear to be
Linux with just a few odd kinks. They make their own BIOS which is
pretty terrible :-)

I am going to get someone to recommend trying Linux. Then explain it
is just like a MAC and see how that flies.
