It
may sound a little strange, with murder and madness afoot, but…
Peace
on earth.

to include Islam itself into the discussion of policies, and equally reasonable
to include all other religions into the discussion as well, especially those
that have allowed themselves to become drawn into political issues, in which
the religions themselves, or significant numbers of their adherents, have
committed murders, especially mass murders, on behalf of the Gods they claim to
revere, and whose wills they claim to be carrying out. …”

link at the top of my MenuBar, or directly accessible through: http://www.robertwittig.com/compute/index2.html
where I will begin to post articles and tips on various facets of computer and
Internet related subjects. This month I have posted a FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions)for:
