The man is still working on updates???

[hellfire]

The guy has a nasty bacterial infection and is still trying to perform Slackware updates?

I get the flu and I can barely stand to surf the web or chat on IRC! Hopefully, he will live into old age and share this story with his grandkids...

"When I was your age, I was compiling code by hand, with a lung infection, uphill, in the snow! You linux programmers have it easy these days!"

Good luck man, I'm pulling for you.
