	It is not the best app to run on a 950 CPU but it runs and RTC was once more
vanquished. On this new issue of GE, I am able to see the tapes on my brother's
court in Quebec City.

	I have a dim notion of all this rhetoric, I do not get to use it much and
never had a formal CLI education and it shows. Regardless of the OS, at times
CLIs are still required or at least appreciated as they do things that are not
"natural".

	Not really to be pushed aside. I think that I had all this on one line and it
did not work at first, it ended up by giving me the XXXDesktop $ and I now
think that this was the way to have it. I then typed in the search of
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin and it carried the show. I had to get lucky on this one
and fudged most of it.
