     I would hope this title would die. Stupid me :-)

It is being used by people who have forgot what the original message said:

  It's been an over 1-year "love affair". I've told all my friends about 
it (none tried it). But now I've reached a point... what am I doing? 
I've spend endless hours trying to get torrents to work on Ubuntu 
Netbook 10.04. Torrents work fine with XP, stock settings on uTorrent, 
so let's not start in with the rounter, or that I need to turn down the 
# of connections, that's all been done. Version 9,10 worked. At this 
point, why would I fool with this anymore? None of the dozen computers I 
maintain for friends run Linux. In fact I don't know anyone personally 
who does. The only person (non professional) that is better at computers 
than me in using Windows 7. The concept seems REALLY cool, but Linux 
JUST DOESN'T WORK. Skype has always been a disaster. People complain MS 
is glitchy... a reboot usually fixes that. People complain of viruses... 
stop runing with Admn rights & MOST of your problems are solved. So what 
AM I trying to accomplish with Linux? It's faster, yes especially since 
I've got a netbook... but I use torrents a LOT. This should JUST WORK & 
if it doesn't... I'm gone.

     The netbook was lost. I recall Ubuntu has a problem with these. He 
maintains a dozen computers, he says.... :-(

     If Doug is receiving his income from the dozen Windows users, he 
might want to stay current with Windows 7, or Windows XT if his users 
are poor :-)
