Sorry if it came across as cocky, I just thought I had been quite
clear the first time.  I work like, 100 hours a day doing PC support
and it gets a bit much sometimes.  Yesterday I had my sister on the
phone asking me how to setup Greatxscape email.  At some point I was
asking her to type in Greatxscape and she kept on saying that the keys
wouldnt print correctly on the screen and as soon as she type 'great'
the box would disappear.  It took ages to figure out she was typing
great followed by ESC on the keyboard....  Another example is having
to constantly tell people where the ENTER or RETURN key is on the
keyboard as they will insist on typing out the whole word.

Anyway, I'm trying to install a Corpus and an SGML reader plus all the
dependencies in Linux at the moment, and that's got me completly
buggered so you might see me asking for help here soon;)
