So do I hear anybody volunteering to write this regular column? my two cents worth: a) I agree and DH agrees that he was mistaken. He is entitled to be mistaken once every 5000 contibutions to this forum. b) I am greatly appreciative to Don Hosek for his contributions to this list, which must be quite costly in terms of his time. c) I think free software is great stuff, and I get all of it I can. I don't think anyone is obliged to make it available to me, or spend their time cataloging free software for me so as to make it more convenient for me to gather it. I think it is very commendable for someone to do such a thing ( Jon Radel, for instance). d) :) have an errorfree day sorry, no sig today
