You need to get on a Linux box and have access to the internet. Linux has programming languages, scripting languages, installation and configuration methods, desktop and publishing tools, communications tools. Network administrators are rightly proud of their skills with Linux, too. I worked in the early days of MRI and other biophysical imaging and instrumentation. MSWindows doesn't do ultrasound scans and save lives. Unix does. You need your own computer on your dad's nice network. There is more to learn than you can know. Linux is very cool. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 7/18/01, 3:08:03 PM, "Hans P.
