I suspect that this is related to my late husband's interest in Linux. Unfortunately, Tom passed away a year ago. Can you please remove his email address from the project you are working on as well as any related mailings on Linux? He loved working with Linux and felt the world was better for the usefulness of Linux. Keep up the good work.
