that is what i think also -- that there should be some power applied
before it can change status like that.

i rather liked the berkeley ip when i first got started with gimp.
since then, it seems like there are only 1.25 gimp people who have
access to hardware there.

the way my current take what sort of nightmare i am having is this, that
the mozilla people around the berkeley area will never finish with gimp
resources and that they might need to be physically removed from them.

i am impressed with my own ability to figure out what is going wrong
with software, i wonder if the same is true for my ability to figure out
what is wrong with the people making software?
