	I and you know about VA since we know about linux. But how
many others in the US who are new to linux know about it?  In any case 
it is far worse here.

can play q3a peacefully on linux too (as I do ;).  My dad and mom are
not techie and there is _no_ other OS at my place.  But of course I am the
