My company (StorageTek) has a several employees in Canberra, so I hope they have not suffered. What you are experiencing now, we had last summer in Colorado, although it didn't reach as far into the plains as Denver/Aurora (extreme SW suburbs and outlying communities were affected). We're in a multi-year drouth cycle, and it's dry as dust this winter, so the killer fires will surely come back again in the summer. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo 1.4 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
