Have *you* installed everyting? Really? BTW: Did you intentionally ignore
the "occassional OT inbetween" in my post, or was that by sheer
accident???
I usually pick from the list the programs that interest me, and in some
cases programs which raise questions here, but so far I still have to
download my first spyware/adware program from Tramp's posts... Luck? I
don't know, but I do know that amongst the programs (s)he posted about
were some really nice and really freeware ones... Haven't heard you folks
about that...

And so do others occassionally, do you want to 'fry' them as well? Could
be getting kinda lonely in here in a few years time ;-)

I wrote "I could", Q... That is not the same as "I will"!

Like you guys ignore Tramp? Leave him/her alone, and start posting alike
(and do it better, if you have to critisize him/her)

Yup, you're right when you're right: It should be "parentheses"; although
I came to the nym from "parenthese" which is the singular too for "(" or
")". Nevertheless, thanks for pointing my attention to this! I will
change it after this message is posted.
