Thanks for that comment G. What *I* find offensive is; cartoon mice
that are used to confuse people about the motives of an evil
corporation, a cartoon bird that can't fly that wishes to take over
the world and, a cartoon operating system (has the magick number 98 in
it's name) which has wasted my time this week, when I should have
been studing ipfw rules. Get real people.

I am going to sleep now so I can edit my conspectus later, so 
I can go sailing for a couple of days. </plug>
