Version numbering schemes, and what they mean, Example: Mozilla Project is now at Firefox Browser ver 2.0.0.4 ad ThunderBird 2.0.0.0. What do the number really mean? How can you figure what they are? Very important in Microsoft products!

Glenn was away this show so Paul rambled on uncontrolled at length about various topics!


Linux:
Our current favorite: UBUNTU Linux , (Version 7.04 Just Out– It's Great!)
site will mail you for low or no cost, a complete bootable 'live' CD that requires no installation at all! The ideals of UBUNTO are most in line with those of KVMR being freely available to anyone and always welcoming membership & contributions, while relying a lot on volunteer skills, oh and not incidentally, producing material of a very high caliber of professionalism to compete with others costing far more!
