truth is stranger...

Isn't it amazing just what people want out of computers? Any sys admin or tech support person will know this. Today, a user asked me if I could change the default background colour of e-mails in Lotus Notes to GREEN, and the text to PEACH, because she can't read BLACK and WHITE. I can't ever imagine being able to take enough LSD to make peach on green seem more readable than black and white. Sometimes being a sysadmin is like babysitting several hundred children. There's nowt queer as folk. -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

dselect for bikes...great new idea

Hi All, I had this incredibly bizarre dream a few nights ago where my motorbike had an extra foot-pedal, which when clicked acted like dselect, debian's package manager thingie. When I clicked it and requested a new bit of fairing, it came up with a bunch of other things i would also need, such as nuts and grommets, and would I like it to install them? Anyone got the capital for a new investment? :-) Jen.
