I meant to say "In the windows that pops up" :) :)

Speaking of windows, which so many of my firnds and acquaintances use,
I find myself always in demand to properly disinfect them so they can get
back to doing whatever it is they do with it.
They have refused to switch to any version of linux because somehow they
find it difficult to learn new tricks (i.e. keystrokes, and mouse clicks) :)
