Isn't there a tool that will capture the screen to a flash file? I
thought there was a Linux tool for this.

Not sure how well it works. It is another thing on my to do list. Seems
that list has a very efficient push operator, but a piss poor pop.

On a related topic, this issue of bandwidth is getting attention in the
UK. People see that they are not getting download speeds they expect for
the speed they have bought. The ISPs claim this is to keep downloading
from making interactive users get poor responsiveness. They make the
comparison to a road that has a posted limit of 55, but when there is
heavy traffic you cannot drive 55. Not sure how that will sort out.

On another topic yet, our co-op has the first fiber optic connection in
the area. As a reward, we currently have unlimited bandwidth. Not sure
how long that will last. But it is nice while we have it.
