Though the possibilities are intriguing ....Why should you have used na? For example, do tesete djuno la .uindoz. zo'e do sanji la .uindoz. do tcidu loi mrilu noi se finti loi prenu noi pilno la .uindoz. Both na'e and na are correct here, they just make slightly different claims.
Yes. What I meant to say was "It is not true that I use Windows", but what I said was "I do-something-other-than-use Windows". It's a subtle difference, but the latter implies that there is a relationship between me and Windows other than "use" - maybe I don't use it any more but still have nightmares about it.
OTOH, I don't have any idea what "snuge'i" means (I think this is what pierre was actually asking about).
snuge'i = snura + gleki = "safe kind of happiness" - my attempt at an approximation of "glad" in the context of "I'm glad I don't use Windows" (because I've just received a Windows virus).
