[Richard Blais <rchrdblais@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Just returned from vacation and found your email.  I am not technical 
enough to do what you ask. I could rebuild an engine, and was a 
programmer analyst, but after reading some feedback comments, this is 
too scary (the risks) for me. Floppy drive doesn't work.  Why are there 
no executables like Windows? The problem with the remote client printing 
broke during my installed 12 LTS. I figured an update release was at 
fault.  I applied the fix for  Sudo, ( for an old guy like me, these 
names are tough to adjust too), but as you know, the problem is still 
there.  It still doesn't work with the latest 13 release.  sigh..
Sleep mode doesn't work since 12 LTS either; noticed that version 0406 
will fix that (Fix the system may lead to auto resume when going into 
sleep mode with PS2 mouse.)   I guess I am too scared to apply the bios 
upgrade. Too many steps. Too many physical external file devices.
Richard.
