So.. did you actually type out that link manually? I didn't realize that
perhaps dyslexia included the special characters.  :D

When I enter a link that uses backslashes, the browser automatically flips them 
to forward slashes.  So, maybe people are not realizing the difference.

Which reminds me, maybe OpenXP can be made adaptable the same way!  ;)
