Thanks for the suggestion.  I can't believe I didn't think of this.  I just
installed Kubuntu on one of his old computers (I'm trying to get him to
convert to Linux :) and this would work perfectly, especially since I don't
really expect him to use the linux box.  Trying to get a Windoze user to
switch to linux is like pulling teeth.
