I started with computers from the 8-bit era, when most stuff were in English. Even installing and using a Greek charset was a big hassle and wasn't guaranteed to work with every app (and indeed it didn't). So I really find it more practical to see everything in English - I'm more in touch with the terminology than any other language. My ¤0.02 :) -- Best regards, George mailto:ggn@thebat.net
