	Buck you're no way close to old.  Coming up on 63.  If people 
thing that they have problems with RHEL they should consider the little 
extra hoops I have to jump through.  We have a purchasing system that 
excels in red tape.  To order something of the web using a credit card is 
impossible unless you want to use your own and loan the state money.  To 
purchase from one vendor it take a mountain of paper work.  I needed ove 
twenty copies of ES. Wanted the basic edition but that required a download 
and payment by card.  Finally had to order the standard version through an 
"approved reseller".  I can't wait until next year when I try to figure 
out how to pay for the renewal :-)
