[[yeah, you can call him any number of names from X to Z, but the facts are they this guy has been right--consistantly-- for the two years i've known him.]] since noon here, i have my new computer running the latest 7.2, it has a fixed IP, and i expect to have my services switched over by monday. ---hope the power holds; autumn && seattle mean wind storms and power-outs, ... and my 1998 kayak (ns1.thought.org) has about three power-cycles left. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
