Good heavens, Rick, my husband certainly has many similarities with John Henninger Reagan! They were born in locations an hour's drive apart; the both were surveyors; the both were tutors; and they both had a knack for business! Thanks for a great link! :)

It's a bit of a shame that most of your questions have to do with the American Civil War. May I humbly suggest you broaden the scope in the future?

Here's a "what if" that's kinda intriguing: What if John Brown had joined the Army, rather than fomenting slave rebellions and so forth?
In other words, how much longer would the war have been postponed, had Brown not done the things he did? :)

Dixi and I just hate Windows for many of the same reasons that you've cited, e.g., sporadic connectivity, pointless and stupid "help" routines, etc.

Will Linux run Windows games on a PC?
