Hi! Robert,

Where do you normally head off to for vacations?  I realise that short
breaks may not give you much time for travelling, but if you do have the
time do you make a bee-line for the snow, or warmer climes?

Nope.  Not me.  If someone else is, then I'm not seeing it here.  The echo
has been empty for over a week.

I have my own 'local' message area where those newsgate things go.  I just
ran it here for a week like you agreed to.  That's it.

Can't see a thing hereabouts.  Hence, my question to you.

Damn and blast!  What a bugger of a thing.  I've had a couple of near
misses myself with this linux install, recently.  Came close to stuffing
everything up, trying to make a dual-boot system between Win98 and linux. 
I lost "it" for a small while, playing around with 'toys' such as
Fdisk, Format, Grub, Pdisk and GParted.  For the space of about 2 minutes I
thought I'd lost 60+ gigs of data across 2 hard drives.  I had my way in
the end.  :)

Groovy.  Next time.

Cheers,
Paul.

... It beeped and said "Countdown initiated".  Is that bad?
