    I certainly did, and I noticed the perfect colour co-ordination between kilt and polo shirt. Well selected, Alan.

    By the way, I have never knowingly seen a Mac. I have a PC and use Windows XP Professional, but what on earth are "OS Patches"? I've never heard of those. Does Norton Anti-Virus do the same thing? I regularly download updates for that.

    OS patches are what you'd get from Windows Update website (or the automatic update tool included with recent service packs) - security updates etc.

    Alan, you wear the kilt very well. Ditto on the color coordination. I agree, Mac vs PC arguments are not worth the trouble. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I run Windows XP Home Edition and do keep my system updated. I have Windows set to automatically download the updates. I also use antivirus software as well as a firewall, and anti-spyware. I have yet to be infected or hacked. I also run a dual-boot system with Fedora Linux from time to time. I'm waiting for the release of Fedora Core 5.

    Great work Alan,

    Anytime one of us goes confidently kilted other men start to realize what a common sense way to dress kilts are.

    Looks great!

    Agree with the "Platform" aguments. I have been a Tech for 19 years, and I have heard the bantering back and forth for years.
    Do I have a favored platform, yes, do I totally hate the opossition? No

    Now my feelings about Microsoft as a whole could get crazed, but let's not go there.

    Computers are TOOLS, Kilts are CLOTHING, The choices are PERSONAL!
