Time sure rips by, dunnit? > Did you spend much time on the Caldera List?? Hmm, no, I didn't. That was a period where I was basically a lonely Don Q. in a sea of windmills. My only friends were man pages, and sweeping searches of what was then called Dejanews. The only "list" I actually participated in back then was a usenet group called misc.writing. I used it as sort of a combination of bar, racquetball court and padded cell. Great times over there back then.... [sigh] > Great crowd there. We had > many good times.

I could have easily been your team mascot. :-) Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
