Met her at the Star Wars convention. Did I mention she was looking for love? Had to call her bluff, "Lady, you don't mean how that sounded. The thousand-pound dude in the 'no fat chicks' shirt's astounded." Thought she'd take it back, revoke, rescind, rewind, retract. "You heard me," she said, "I want any man here to descend in the cave where you conquer the fear, and I'll steer you to side of the force that you choose. Somebody's man enough here -- now who?" This girl, now you have to understand, would not look out of place on the arm of an attractive man, so the geeks in attendance got jaws on the floor. One extends his saber but he tripped on his cloak. I stepped to the front then I spoke: "I ain't spitting game, look, I got a Wookiee hat on. But these guys here are used to getting spat on by girls. See, you put em in shock. And this ain't the right con to quote Mister Spock but it's highly illogical to me." Girl looked in my eye, said, "is your mind free?
'Cause I got something for you. It is shiny, it is clean. Come on up and I'll adore you with my yellow laser beam."
Sitting in her room upstairs, watching her wind up the buns in her hair, I declare that "I'd like to be Luke unless that's a little bit too perverted for you. I could be Jabba, a Jawa, an Ewok when we talk, 'oo ga la gee bla!' Wait -- I seen all the flicks, all the books that I read, don't remember any character tied to the bed. But that's all right, I'll just pretend that I'm encased in carbonite. And why that's a nice gold bikini; you make that? Shows off what you got, no mistake: that's one fine view of Chewbacca you're giving me. Lower that down here, we could be living the linguistic lifestyle of the protocol droid." Here comes the part where I'm not overjoyed. "Fire!" she said, and before I could scream, got a steaming mouth full of yellow laser beam.
Homer: [scoffs] I know. And this perpetual motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster. Marge: And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome. [looks out window] Bart: [creepy voice] Hello, Mother dear. Marge: [closing the curtains] That's it: we have to get them back to school. Homer: I'm with you, Marge. Lisa! Get in here. [Lisa walks in, chuckling nervously] In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
It is not like Eliza had better experience with Fox, they canceled 'Tru Calling' at the beginging of its 2nd season after signing up for a whole season! They also refused to air the last episode thus creating a situation were it aired all over the world before the US...
OR you can get yourself a sound card W/ a hardware mixer that is supported in the Kernel/ALSA (emu10k1 chip comes to mind). After suffering from the onboard sound card in my Gentoo box, i decided to do this and never looked back.

There were GUIs in 1986 (The 'Macintosh' was released in 1984 for example, Apple released the 'Lisa' before it)
The the first Xerox PARC based system was the 'Xerox 8010 Star Information System' in 1981.
It is not like Eliza had better experience with Fox, they canceled 'Tru Calling' at the beginging of its 2nd season after signing up for a whole season!
They also refused to air the last episode thus creating a situation were it aired all over the world before the US...
