<BLUSH> heh - figures that the one week I don't catch up on the LUG I get
honoured... </BLUSH>

Seriously - thanks to all of you for the kind words and support! Hmmm -

RE - the installfest - basically I did not read the list in time. I have a
bad habit of letting the mail build up for a few weeks. If you are ever
curious as to whether I will be at any event please feel free to bug me
directly (FWIW:chief.scientist at nebraskacert.org) is the best way to get my
attention fast. The email address I use for this list is filtered into two
files depending on whether it is from the LUG or from the midwestlinux
site.
