Actually, three quarters - somewhere around here I have a Linux 
WordPerfect disk set that I got years ago when I was playing with 
RedHat.  Is ubuntu that much better?

Fortunately, I built my main computer with slide-out hard disk trays, so 
it's a no-brainer to put a new set in and try different OS-es.  I may do 
that one of these days when I can discover a 40-hour day....these 
32-hour days are just not long enough!  <g>
