I couldn't post it from my web interface last week but another message on
another list by Alex remined me of it so I sent it from MUTT

YES I DID. Is that not amazing.
Sometimes I feel like the time zooms by, especially after 9-11, but now
I have 4 teenage GNU advanced users in the house over 16.
Can you imagine that my teens have never used MS software for any significant
purpose and they are all racing to adulthood now.
The first thing my daught Itka said when I handed her the Nokia N800 that we won was,
"How do I get an xterm?"
After all this time my Wife finally asked me how she can get her website up. I dusted
off the koowala book and the vim tutorials.
We just picked up an Asus EEE 2 gig system. My kids lined up asking for one. I think
were going to have to pickup all the colors for a collection.
The system is pretty decent although I'm not in love with the single user interface.
I got wmaker to run on it but I'm now rumaging under the hood of it now trying to
figure out how they turned off the alternate counsels.
I'll show it off at Lake Placid next month at Freedom-IT.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
