Right, that settles it. I definitely have to start with linux!

Incidentally the ISP I use at home (cix.co.uk) provides a superb off-line
reader, Ameol, for e-mail and it's own conferencing system. Ameol (A Most
Excellent Off-Line reader) has dozens of add-ons, mostly written by Cix's
own customers. One of these gives a pop-up window with an instant
translation of hundreds of acronyms - just right-click on the acronym and
if it knows it, up it comes.
