OK.

that driver bombed the last time but that was before compiling to newlyu
written PERL script.
BTW another advantage that is experimental compiling of different options.

No being intrigued.
Seems to me anything is better than gtk possibly?

Keith Olbermann Linux guru said something about that I believe.

Have to try money first.
Late in carreer to take up the robbing of banks and not running so good.
