Tonight when I put my five-year-old daughter to bed (actually she won't be five until next month) we read a handful of Shel's poems (including her favorite, Benjamin Bunn) and then said a prayer.
I first bought a copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends for my daughter for Christmas a couple years ago. She liked it so much that when I was working out of town for a year I recorded myself reading the entire book.
I consider Silverstein more than a great artist, he was one of my heros. He will be missed but I'm sure he'll never be forgotten.
If Novell really took an equity stake in Red Hat, that means a very deep line has been drawn in the sand between Caldera and Red Hat. For Linux' sake, I hope Caldera and Red Hat merge.
Caldera + Red Hat = Strongly unified commercial oriented Linux
Caldera vs. Red Hat = Bitter fighting and extreme fragmentation of the Linux market. Just what Microsoft wants to see...
Yes, the IBM selectric style keyboard rocks (and not just the noise). I type about 40% faster on one of these keyboards then I can on any other keyboard. And I've _NEVER_ seen one fail. The one plugged into my Dual PII-333 Winders box was made May 6, 1987, the one on my Linux workstation was made May 2, 1987. My wife has one that's a little bit newer (an IBM Options with the funky little trackball) that has exactly the same feel as the old ones. And yes, they all have the big double-size backspace key and NO WIN95 KEYS!
Of course, I don't touch-type so the ergo-keyboards really screw with me... Plus, using a text editor like JOE that uses alot of ALT and CTRL key combos just doesn't work well on an ergo keyboard.
