Sure is.

No idea.

I don't mean to pick on you, Jordan, or anyone else, really. Despise
away!

But it seems to me that it would be wise for members of this list to at
least have a basic familiarity with Windows, if it's the op. sys. they
use.

Clearly you have, but if, more than five years after Win 95 was intro'd
there are people on this list who don't even know about alt-enter, then
something's wrong. You simply _have_ to know what your enivoronment is,
even if you don't particularly like it.

Would anyone on this list, if faced with the chances of, for whatever
reason, making a living in the Antarctic refuse to learn how to
recognize the signs of an impended blizzard because they didn't like
snow?
