I've never really understood why computer hardware is handled so crapily. The computer can do millions of somethings a second, but it takes 15+ seconds to recognise a disc and mount it, or notice that there's a wireless network, spend ages connecting to it, etc. I've still got a Z80 based personal computer in the spare room (a VZ300), that I've never figured out a practical use for. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
