But I'm a dilettante. Which is why I need so much help. Which is why I've tried so many forums, chat rooms, mailing lists, distros. Without a doubt or a reservation, this cygwin list is the most responsive, helpful resource I have ever had the pleasure to rely on. You and Brian and Igor, to name names that jump to the top of my head, routinely make things possible, with never a hint that the problem is too basic for your attention. With your help (and that's all of you cygwin.com list members) I have been able to keep the feel and flavor of linux even while consigned to XP. Thought I should say thanks.
