"Open" isn't a generational divider, @factoryjoe. I grew up on Unix in the 70s. Formed the basis for my whole career. Wedge issues suck.
I have zero enthusiasm for any of the network Sunday news shows. All lies and depressing lies at that.
If you're gonna lie how bout a song or a joke or some cleavage.
Raise your hand if you're a form of artificial life, i.e. a robot.

I'm at the Cybersalon at the Hillside Club -- people are demoing iPhone apps.. The place is packed and everyone's having a good time.
David Rowland is demoing an app that lets you spin the globe and find out where the sun and moon are relative to where you are.
The unique thing about these apps is that they're works of art that are very much loved by the people who create them.

Spent 2 hours fighting malware on my new Asus. Did it ship with it? Very bad memories. Using ad-aware to fight. win32rootkit.tdss arrgh
This Asus appears completely hosed. Now how do you do a fresh XP install on a machine with no DVD. Use the 16GB SD somehow? Or go Hacintosh?
