Cuz I want to be able to play Blackgammon at light speed...(nah, not really...more for going to lan parties and also serving up here at home...and actually, I'd love to see Quake running on it...unless I can finally figure out how to get HL to run under WHINE (not a misspelling)...(also to serve remote Xwindows to the wife...but she doesn't know that yet) -- Sun Dec 8 06:50:01 EST 2002 6:50am up 8:48, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.33, 0.32 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | k�hn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen k�hn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Gr�tens*Liebe Gr��e*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Gomme's Laws: (1) A backscratcher will always find new itches.
