2) I fielded a call today, no sound on a Windows 98 box.  The person had
installed their "restore CD" for an Emachine PC and I guess had got to the
point of needing a device driver for the sound card.   I'm not going to 
say
Windows is that much better than Linux on this issue -- but WHY CAN'T WE
JUST HAVE A SYSTEM THAT HELPS PEOPLE A BIT MORE???   As much as Windows
holds the user's hand, it still isn't good enough.
