Happy Birthday, Shadow Thomas!!!! I hope you have a great day, man:-)

I was always under the impression that electric used as heating is very expensive. Even if your gas bill goes down, I would think your electric bill would go up more. Maybe natural gas in your area is more expensive then what we pay in the U.S. Yes, our natural gas rates are very high up here in Northern, B.C., so switching to electricity does actually make sense. Our local natural gas company is struggling to make a profit and has passed on their losses to the consumer with increased gas rates. My electricity bill has gone up, but, my gas bill has gone down considerably. I'm saving money.

Yes, we're also trying to save on gas at our house, Liz. We turn down the thermostat and we've also bought an electric oil heater that helps to warm the house. I also recently switched our natural gas hot water tank to an electric one. The natural gas bills in the winter get extreme.

Nope. You're not crazy, my friend! I stopped using mainstream products on my PCs four years ago. I do have one PC running XP Pro, but, that's for my daughter. Linux is my main OS. I've got three Slackware 11.0 boxes at home that I am very happy with. At work I've gradually deployed six Ubuntu 6.06 LTS boxes, and my boss likes the security and savings that results from FOSS. I am thrilled that you're using Linux.

Well-said, Chappy! This is one of the many reasons why I run primarily open source software on my computers. I don't want anyone telling me what I can and can't do with my computers. I have one XP Pro box that my daughter uses that has all legal software on it. I just have a different philosophy on the way that I think software should be made available to people.

Happy Halloween!!! My wife and I got cleaned out of candy in 90 minutes. We spent way too much money on candy as per usual, lol. Our neighbourhood seems to draw a lot of kids, I regularly see kids from the other side of town, people I don't recognize. Right now as I'm typing this the door bell is ringing and I'm turning away kids. I love Halloween. In one hour I'm driving the kids to our local civic center where there will be a fireworks display. I feel like a bloated pig right now........I've eaten way too much.

Congratulations, Jeff:-) You've worked very hard to make this a great forum!!! Besttechie.net rules!!! 10,000 threads!!!!

Yeah, I also alternate between KDE and Gnome. I also like the way that Gnome resolves fonts. I'm still running KDE in Slackware 11.0 right now as the fonts look great, I may install Dropline Gnome, I'm not sure though yet. Yep, the spell check feature in FF 2.0 is indeed cool. I'm running Gnome 2.16 in Ubuntu 6.10 and it looks great.

Heh-heh, good one, marty:-)
