    ...You should have seen some of the "sex on campus"
    seven degrees of separation white boards from my college days!

    (Yes, my "small patch" was rejected as too small to bother including)

      Wow, that _is_ impressive! I didn't know you could even _get_ 3D white boards :)

      At least you didn't live in the south.. Their family trees down there are twice as complicated as your whiteboard.

    That's all nice and cool, but could we have a 3D shooter next where you can use a BFG#### to go bughunting? ;-)

    People replying to my sig annoy me. That's why I change it all the time.

    Finally a true clear picture of the kernel! With this concise clear and stunning graphical 3d image I can finally progress beyond the Hello World modules. Lost in a function? Not sure how the kernel works? I'll just look at the wonderful lines and dots buried in the haze of blue and hey presto! All is revealed. Thank you for the amazing contribution to the world of computer science! Next up: a graphical representation of all the source code bits after mangled through a blender..stay tuned!
