Thanks, BA - reader's compliments make for great author motivation. The
   laptop reviews will continue happening (although I may skip a month in
   between), and will only terminate on EXIT_SUCCESS - or factors beyond my
   control. I definitely need a backup laptop, and will be "processing" more of
   them.

   Hi there,

   (I got this address from [48]http://linuxgazette.net/authors/okopnik.html)

   I enjoyed your article in the recent LG issue -- thanks. There appears to be
   a minor typo in:

     [49]http://linuxgazette.net/issue97/misc/okopnik/mirrors.tmpl

   which is propogated to the content at:

     [50]http://linuxgazette.net/mirrors.html

   A patch below fixes it.

   All the best,

                     See attached [51]mirrors.diff.txt

     [This is in response to an item in [53]issue 101]

   Hello,

   I came across your question about [54]Stephen quite by accident, and thought
   that, although there has been a response, I would take a moment to post a
   personal reply.

   We do not actually know the date of Stephen's death...........February 27th
   was the day on which he was found by a farmer on Exmoor. The ensuing inquest
   concluded that it was 'Death by misadventure'...Hypothermia being the cause.
   Thank you for caring enough to question his whereabouts............I know
   many people will miss him and mourn his death.

   He was my son.

   Sincerely,

   Ann Morgan
                              ...............

   'That man is a success who lived well, laughed often and loved much: who has
   gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children: who has
   filled his niche and accomplished his task: who leaves the world a better
   place than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a
   rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to
   express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.'

   -- Robert Louis Stevenson.

                                 ...............

     Thank you, Ann. Stephen was a man who held to his principles, and we can
     only respect him for that.

     Readers, think kindly of your family this season, even those you don't
     deal well with or haven't seen in years. Look for the finer qualities in
     people around you. The winter may be cold - but don't forget to care.
