(Sigh) seems to be the trend.  Linux Mag has gone all internet and no 
more paper.  I like old things, like magazines that don't need to be 
booted up.

I for one will be sorry to see the SxS list join my old dogs as 
wonderful memories.
 From my first tentative fumblings with Caldera OL, SxS has been a club 
house full of good friends, including Lonnie!
