    This has been out for ages. I would have played with it over a week ago but I couldn't face grabbing ISOs over a 56k line :-) Actually, I'd just be finishing about now...

    We're supposed to bitch endlessly about how this is an advertisement.

    Discuss amongst yourselves.

    If the /. editors keep this up, Slashdot will loose its reputation for only reporting on important social issues and touching human-interest stories!
