OK guys (and gals), you got me all convinced that I should seriously 
think in terms of using Linux instead of Windows XP.  Hey, I am easy!  
So I have done the things that needed to be done, and can now (after a 
lot of sweat and blood and tears) dual-boot either Linux or XP.  I will 
readily admit that Linux has some advantages.  But I am absolutely 
astounded to find that XP apparently offers better protection from 
annoying advertisements than Linux does!  Why?  One would think that 
that Linux would do a better job, not a worst job.  Am I missing 
something?  Educate me!!!  :-)
