[NTLUG:Discuss] I can't believe this one

[Carl Haddick]

Well, an eight figure buyout, that would sure figure into my strategies.
Intriguing, though.  I expect odd things when the Mayan calendar calls
for the end of the world in, let's see, 2012, I think.  Wasn't sure
today would signal the end times, but I guess in a way I should have
expected it.

Until I can get Windows installed, I've put a 'start' button on my XFCE
system bar, just to show solidarity.

Options, options, just where do I want to go today?
