Yeah well, not only that,but he have been procrastinating since 2012..
FWIW - you do remember cheapbytes and got inherent humour of this?
I found this website when we were on the phone and talking about
Redhat cds.... cheapbytes, wallnut creek and sunsite.

Do you have a yellow pages? I really need a phone book. I just
got done listening to the Diane Rheme Show on NPR and she has
a 911 associate that wants to decommission the 911 network
because POTS is dead and google knows where you are, even
what side of the room you are in, and 911 should know this also.
I stary eyed stare at the wall wondering in despair about what is
wrong with everyone. People are calling in an bragging that if
google knows where I am, why doesn't 911?
We are failing to educate the public about the most fundamental
aspects of what computers do, or how they can be abused.
Can you send me a copy of that cook book.
