Yes, silly me...I need more sleep

Unfortunately I can't get any more memory or swap right now, but I am
perfectly content to wait long periods of time.  I'm just glad I don't
need the box just yet.

I like ports...so I'll wait the days this may take.  FWIW I don't see
all of the swap being used, so it's not a serious issue, it'll just take
a long long time I guess.  THis was more to sanity check than anything
else.  Assuming it eventually finishes, which I guess it will, I guess
I'm set.  I'm just too used to the boxes at work, where huge amounts of
memory and processing is standard.  Oh, the joys of college computing...

Yeah, I guess I can probably expect it to take 2 or 3 days, not that I
mind waiting...

Thanks for your help,
