Thank you, that makes me feel much better. I put the final nail into the
Linux coffin this morning. I bought a full, original Win7 install package
after doing that (yes, with the key) and I'm now formatting two or three hard
drives.
Very strange what has happened. Late last week I could not log onto
Paypal, and fortunatly I noticed the dreaded banner at the top of the window
stating that Flash Player (FP) was outdated and blocked. I allowed it, as
usual, and then I could log onto Paypal. After that I updated FP.
Shortly after that, all of evilBay went to a FP interface, and with no FP
on the Linux machine I had no access. Trying to install FP on the Linux
machine was fruitless as there are four versions, the instructions are cryptic,
and the installation file cited in the instructions was not to be found.
The Win7 package arrives next week.
