Linux Gazette is always a pleasure to read,thank you for that experience :-)

     You're welcome, and thank you for taking the time to write to us. It's
     always nice to hear that people appreciate the work we do. :) -- Thomas

     Glad you're enjoying it! -- Ben

   In article "Which window manager" in #105 of LG MGM was mentioned.It looked
   interesting enough,so I looked it up.

   I found it on [33]http://www.linuxmafia.com/mgm

   My mistake was that I started reading the FAQ while drinking coffee... :-)

   Classic case of C|N>K

     Whups. We should probably warn people about that. Me, I cautiously set
     aside any drinks and dangerous objects (err, well - except my mind) before
     opening any mail prefixed with [TAG]; I know this bunch. -- Ben

   My nose is much better now,thank you...

     Let me tell ya, be glad you weren't eating raisins or peanuts. Those can
     really  hurt your nasal passages, and leave dents in your walls and
     furniture! -- Ben

     It is amusing, isn't it. :) I remember it from way back. I do have to
     thank Rick Moen for resurrecting it. :) -- Thomas

   You  are  really  serious  about this 'Making Linux a little more fun'
   thing,aren't you? Thank God for that.

     We have to be, Predrag, otherwise we'd be YAMP (Yet Another Man Page). :)
     -- Thomas

     [grin] That's the LG to a tee. 'Fun' isn't our middle name - it would
     involve all sorts of boring paperwork, people would ask pointed questions
     about changes in marriage status, and applying to courts in various
     countries would be a real hassle - but we do enjoy ourselves, usually.

     Thanks for writing! -- Ben

     [Rick Moen] You're very welcome, Predrag. Furthermore, I'll take this
     opportunity to declare you an official Linux Gazette Evil Genius. We'll be
     sending you your white Persian cat and monocle via separate attachment. Go
     forth[1] and conquer.

     [1] Or FORTH, perhaps.

   Thank you,I'm honoured :-) . Can I put that on a t-shirt?

     Wherein "The Answer Gang" express our general pleasure that the Editor In
     Chief's home survived the wake of the hurricanes pouring through Florida
     lately.

     This is really Not Linux, but we send good wishes to any readers out there
     cleaning up after Mother Nature's mess. -- Heather

   Ben, 

   I didn't catch from your earlier email where your anchorage was, did the ~
   Charley course change spare your boat? 

   -- Brian Bilbray 

     It made it worse, actually - Charlie's eye passed right through St.
     Augustine, from what I'm told - but my anchors held (I had a friend put
     out a third one; I normally ride to two anchors, but have eight on board.)

     The winds were supposedly in the 70+ knot range (Category 1 hurricane)
     with 6' seas in the Matanzas river, where I'm actually anchored. The docks
     at  the  nearby city marina took a real pasting, but everything and
     everybody seems to be OK.

     WHEW, big-time. When Charlie got up to 145mph, and shifted course to pass
     dead over St. Augustine, I was not a happy camper.

   [Breen Mullins] Whew! indeed. Glad to hear all's okay -- I've been worried
   about you. 

   [John Karns] We're glad to hear that the boat is still in one piece. Our
   thoughts are with those who weren't quite so fortunate. At least it sounds
   like it went a little better than Andrew in 1992.
