I was planning on a new laptop so I could use a reasonablly current API. But with the execute-ahead fiasco, I am reluctant to put serious money down on a vulnerable processor. So I'm getting a raspberry pi instead and connecting it to my TV. Not really a laptop, no. And I'm replacing my file server with one based on a MIPS processor. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
