Is the update out? I didn't see it on the main page, but maybe I overlooked it.

Yes, click on NEWS. That seems to always tell what's up.

After I updated the web site, I loaded the pages in FireFox (and IE) to check the updates. some of the pages were still cached and showing as the old pages. If that is the case for your browser, just press F5 (or Ctrl+F5) to refresh any page you think might be out of date.

In Mozilla I have the choice to update the displayed web page as shown below.

Everytime I view the page
When the page is out of date
Once per session
Never

Since I always clear my cache and history, the pages are always updated anyway, but I recommend ALWAYS selecting "Everytime I view the page"., on whatever browser you use. It forces a reload on each visit, but it's worth the few extra seconds to insure you ALWAYS have the most recent page loaded.

What was that you were saying about needing to re-install windows....

I have a fantastic "patch" for windows. It elimitates all known viruses and known IE and OE exploits.
The patch disk has Linux written on the front :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, it's amazing what we sometimes consider 'normal'.

Um hate to tell you but LINUX has more bugs then Windows ( all current operating systems )
The difference is that there are more WINDOWS workstations and servers then crappy LINUX so it hits the press more.

It was said very much tongue in cheek :)
I just couldn't resist stirring the MS v Linux pot - sorry!
I like Linux, I like Windows. Both have good and bad points.

Also, I'm not disputing the bug count (never mentioned it actually), just that running Linux (as with any non-MS operating system) you won't get hit with as much spyware, viruses, IE or OE exploits - that's all.

The reason for that is that the vast bulk of viruses and exploits are aimed at MS platforms, and the reason for that is (as you quite rightly say) because there are more of them.
