Peer pressure.) The *cult* of Windows... I wonder how often this problem *really* exists? How many friends spend their time exchanging "documents", when all they really need to do is send text and/or pictures. Even between two XP PCs, one's "doc" file mayn't be suitable for another PC; it's really only a format suitable for saving your own files for printing later on, on your own printer. Not to mention all the *problems* that tag along with sharing Windows files (viruses, malware, et al). -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
