  I not only roast on a Diedrich 12 kg at work, but have a 
300 gm roaster, a 240 gm roaster, and a couple of modified 
hot air corn poppers that'll do about 80-90 gms.

  I doubt it... but if that's what they want to call it, far 
be it for me to call them wrong.  ;-)

  Roasted beans kept in atmosphere are good for about 7 to 
10 days before beginning to stale.

  Amen means simply, "So be it," or in more common usage, 
(as was used here), simply "Yes, I heartily agree."

  Brazillian coffee, as a rule, is the cheapest of the South 
Americans.  Brazil is still the number one coffee producer, 
and Vietnam has now taken the number two spot.  
  I don't much care for Brazillian coffee by itself, but it 
does make a good base for espresso blends.

  Sorry, I've only looked at Debian around '98.  Then again 
at Knoppix this year.  If anyone wants to just take a look 
at Linux without any disk partitioning, set-up, or anything 
at all, Knoppix boots from the CD (or a bood diskette) and 
runs strictly from memory and the CD.  It includes KDE, so 
that means you need at least 80MB RAM.  But it's a good view 
of "what's possible" even though it runs very slow, needing 
to access the CD all the time.
(but I don't know if there's a Knoppix for RISC)
