Which I am. I just hit the parts box for some old speakers and a mic that I never used, and had Skype paid for and working in a whip stitch. I expect to have the VPN working tomorrow morning, and I'll go to the UCSD Extension and get on their network and retest everything before the Big Night. I think I may just hit every big name in the Tcl/Tk world to do presentations for us. The power that computers give to ordinary people never fails to awe me. That's what got me into them in the first place, and it just doesn't stop. (For anyone missing the original context, the VoIP connection is for a remote presentation I'm arranging for the San Diego Tcl/Tk UG meeting the 19th.) -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
