Hey! Those bad people scared me... they claimed that if I succumbed to
the Dark Side and installed any driver OTHER than the rpm sanctioned by
Fedora, that I would BURN in HELL and roast slowly until I was good and
tender... with hush-puppies on the side. 

I would have to be moist cooked, over slow coals, as I am old, tough and
stringy. I've already got plenty of vinegar in me. <chortles> I just
need a little bit of salt. No BBQ sauce on me please... I want my diners
to taste me as I am, without a lot of adornments. No apple in my mouth,
just a Black and Tan 25 cent cigar, sunglasses and a straw fedora. I
would like to point out that my sirloin would be especially tasty from
sitting on my ass these last few years. Maybe then I will finally be of
some use to Polite Society... as an entree surrounded by pearl onions,
red potatoes and glazed baby carrots. Bon Apatite! 

Oh yeah, so you think I should install the $DEITY version on the
recommend of an international man of mystery? Just like that? Leaving
Mr. Chang in his new found state of bondage? 

Ok, he's a goner. Moving on, I'll dnload that and see what blows up
next. If it blows up, there will be another chapter added, see if I
don't. <eyebrow waggles> Ric
