I can't help but think of the line from the Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy (Douglas Adams): "Looks like a cat. Moves like a fish. Steers like a cow." (Ford Prefect describing the black ship - the one with black buttons that lit up black to let you know you did something. Obviously it was designed for a species that could perceive different wavelengths of the EM spectrum than humans). Note: I don't in any way feel Linux is a cow. X maybe ;-) With all these animals, does it mean Linus is "Ol' MacDonald?" :-) Sorry, I'll be quiet now. -- Andrew E.
