[ale] anti-virus and mozilla

[James P. Kinney III]

I'm getting him there. There are some apps that get used often enough
that a complete conversion is not possible until their functionality
stabilizes under crossover office. An old business accounting
application is currently being transitioned to sql-ledger. Not an easy
process as all of the database stuff is closed source with no
documentation.

Another hold up is using GPG in Mozilla mail as he needs to be able to
decrypt stuff sent by the Interchange server. I set up Enigma in Mozilla
but it just doesn't play nicely and find all of its parts yet. 

He is completely hooked on the tabs in Mozilla! He watched me tinkering
with the Gimp and positively drooled. Then he noticed the 6 virtual
screens I had with multiple apps running smoothly in each one on a
feeble PII 300 with 128 MB ram.

Got him ;)
