Well what do you expect.  Almost everything on Windoz is either
management stuff (boring) or a ports of a product first seen on
a Unix platform.   -- Meow, Meow

Steve's Secret Snip-it for attending tradeshows:	Ware a Cool Geek
Tee.

Last time I went to the Linux Expo (two years ago) I wore my 
nine layer ISO network Tee.  It gets you noticed by the stand Geeks
and who else there is worth talking to?  I might get some printed 
up and sell them as I walk around.
