No, I haven't misunderstood the term CGI - I know what it is... Common
Gateway Interface; it's a protocol on the machine that is used to interface

Perl language.
I keep forgetting that I'm talking to a Linux list, but really, did I *have*
to say "cgi *****SCRIPTS***** are supposed..." ??
You don't truly think that I thought you could upload CGI itself, did you??
Tell me you didn't think that this is what I meant, you were just .... I'm
not sure. *L*
I'm gonna just drop this thread now before I get pissy over someone parsing
my words and responding as if I'm an idiot, rather than responding to what I
said - in the context of what I said...

Carrie,
As a "seasoned newbie" (1 year), I really do appreciate reading your posts
Carrie.
Let the anal retentive "nit-pickers" who obviously have nothing better to
worry about other than being plain picky take a jump.
You are correct it is much easier for a green newbie to "grasp" (if that's
possible) the nuances and idiosyncrasies of our beloved Cobalts and the
learning curve of Linux with a non-super-geeky explanation. Remember boys
and girls you were also a newbie! So let's all cut the petty crap out and
keep this great (albeit delayed) group going in harmony and keep supporting
each other. Especially these days with all the dumb a** script kiddies
trying to keep us from making an honest living.
So yes Carrie, keep on trucking in that bad a** 'stang!
For the "nit-pickers", flame me, I'm a Texan I won't give a crap.
Laterz!
Frank
