Oh, Chris,

Face it. The whole concept of software is pre-alpha and definitely not 
for the faint of heart. But just imagine the songs and epic poems that 
will be written to honor us, the brave pioneers of these first, 
archaic, nay even dangerous computers. Will anybody remember the 
cowards who couldn't even brave a simple Cygwin installation without 
running screaming in terror? Of course not.

Now, back to my battle with the omnipresent demons of information 
chaos. They lurk everywhere!

Randall
