Hey Jan!

Okay.  I don't use it anymore but I was or did start in the early gtk2 times. 
I falsely got the impression that it was heading in a different direction.  No
big deal though and I moved on.

Right.  Not many of those in them days.  For me it was VAX/VMS and a little
later on Solaris.  Didn't bother with a PC until the 386 came out and regretted
that.  Was playing around with djgpp on DOS.  :::shudder:::

I liked the 486's with Slackware on them.  That is when I started to have fun
with PC's again.  I still had one 386 going for awhile then but it was too hard
to get parts for so it got abandoned.  Sucked far too much power too.

Not really.  They never did anything that interested me.

I suppose.  As long as I don't have to do anything about it then I have no
problem with that idea.  Unfortunetly that isn't the case but I am starting to
get better at saying no to those people.

Right.  That usually ends up boring me in very short order.

It can be.  Personally I am waiting for gcc4 to become stable so I can take the
new fortran out for a spin.  In the meantime I will keep playing with ttylinux
as it is great on little guys.  I still want them to gang up on the big guy
(clustered).  Still having fun playing around with the concept.
