Only on days of the week that end in "Y".  The rest of the time I'm
actually quite normal.  But thanks for the vote of confidence! :-)

Well I figure at my age I've got a long time to try. :-)

Sure.  I've got NaviSite giving me co-lo.  The install fees alone are over
$3K.  Tape backups?  Another 500/mo.  Bandwidth?  $1K/mbit/mo.  So figure
NaviSite is giving me $21,000 worth of service for the price of putting a
logo on a web site about Linux that I haven't even designed yet-- and
NaviSite has NOTHING to do with Linux!  

All I want from VAR is a one time donation of a $10K system that they
can't sell anyways because it was used at a trade show... piece-o-cake in
comparison.

My thoughts exactly. :-)
