People who think operating a computer is using MS office. Period. They get a glazed look when I ask for plain text even if the .doc files they send are only straight text. Since I've never used a windows computer (started with OS/2 and went to Debian directly), I don't know what extra work there is for them, but I understand that the windows recipients have to do extra work if its not a .doc file. The sender tells me its more work to send .doc to everyone else and something else to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
