Wow! Karl is a FoxHead? Please tell him I say hello. And that I am thoroughly enjoying Ubuntu Linux. Hey, how nice of you to consume a few beers on behalf of Paul last night. Very thoughtful indeed <g>. Feel free to have a few in my stead tonight. No more than 2, though, as I am a very light drinker. And when you leave, have a safe journey to your destination.
