Yup, all that mewling you were getting from me up till 2 weeks ago came 
from an FC2 install that was, according to the package managers, 
thoroughly broken, but it generally all worked very well indeed.  I fixed 
the stuff FC2 never did, or took most of its life to fix.

Don't ever knock an ASR-33, or a Zerox 1650-ro.  I still have the 1650-ro 
and it can still spit out characters at 40 cps, the fastest daisy wheel 
ever built, and after at least a billion characters, its still running on 
its original wheel.  It could probably survive on of those iraqi built 
IED's as its built like a tank & just as heavy.

And why not upgrade, pray tell?  Just because I know how vaccum tubes work 
(transistors were invented on my watch way back when) and was writing 
code for an rca 1802 before most of you folks were even a sparkle in 
somebodies eye doesn't always mean we're stuck in the mud.  Having 
trouble keeping up at times leads to some rtfm moments from you 
youngsters occasionally, but generally, in my field of broadcast 
engineering, I'm the equ of the character Sid in the user-friendly 
cartoon JDF draws.  Often just as complete with a coffee cup grafted on 
in place of a hand...  But my beard is shorter cause I take it off in the 
heat of summer & I have more bay window.  And that tie he wears would 
choke me to death.  Not a pretty picture but what you see IS what you 
get.
