"And that's what you get with Cracker Jack... la la la"

"Somewhere, over the rainbow... la la la"

That bullshit is a good example of what you get in a Linux help
group, instead of just admitting failure. Linux is the holy grail
of operating systems, always has been (for decades) and always
will be. But this stuff should not be crossposted to the homebuilt
PC group anyway, Ray, we do not need the strife. If you were so
smart and rich, Ray, you would not be messing with Linux. Personal
computer users who want to get things done use Windows. The way I
use a PC right now, they will never do with Linux. On someone
else's computer, I pick up the mouse and say "COMPUTER!" in jest,
because that is the way it gets done here at home (with a
microphone), just like in the Star Trek movie.

Good luck and have fun (if you could).

Amazing isn't it, the kind of sage advice on copying files that you find in
Linux ngs.

That's the neatest solution to the problem I've seen.

Now, what's for breakfast?
