  I have to voice my agreement here.  I've been largely silent on this 
list since my loud whining about the GTK port and potential portability 
issues, because I've been very busy.  My non-Linux GTK issues have been 
solved (I think I did mention that some time ago) and I'm now running 
the PCB GTK port with great satisfaction.

  I too would like to send out a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to Harry, DJ, 
Dan, and all the other folks who've contributed to PCB over the years.  
Further, Bill Wilson deserves many cases of virtual beer for his highly 
successful effort on the gorgeous new GTK-based user interface.

  PCB does have a steep learning curve...just like every other highly 
technical tool that implements a great deal of functionality.
