Thanks Ben :)
I'm about to being a transition of my Unix computing from Mandrake 8.2 to
Mandrake 9.1 (laptop and old desktop) and NetBSD (new Pentium3 test
machine).  I had considered Red Hat, but someone gave me all the Mandrake
stuff for free so...you know...I'll use that.  I killed 8.2 several times.
Especially as I tried to update KDE.  Dependency after dependency
after...sighs.  And then, kaboom.  I seem to have a particular ability to
make computers do that.

Oh yes.  You are in the UK too.  For me a packet of safeway cookies came
within targeting range and they suffered badly.  It's been a strange day.
One of my dearest friends left for Taiwan at 7am, so I was up all night
talking with them.   Slept during day, and up at 4pm to work away on stuff
again.

Notes (totally unrelated to everything I have just been talking about)...
Ben, you know the way your desktop automatically detects drives?  It's a
great feature.  The only slightly annoying thing is that way they all appear
on the top left of the desktop.  It would be great if the system somehow
sorted them into a neat line after detection.
Ken...what happened to him?  He vanished a couple of years ago, but does
anyone know where he went?

Regards
