    Odd; I see a lot of various-language databases, the bofh, but that's
about it. I'm I'm *reasonably* sure I'm still using the
Universe/Mutiverse settings; that's odd.

    There was a time I'd love those; but I've spent 3 years working
16/7/360 for a lumber yard where my efforts were never appreciated.
After all the work I did, all the weekends I wasted for their uptime,
they ended up calling the FBI on me when the second crew who replaced
me, couldn't make the printers work for some reason.  I'm a little
bitter about the time I spent in computing- that's why I'm trying to
divorce myself of Microsoft and all the head-games it brings to the table.

    It's so easy to be a worthless crank behind the main IT desk; it's
harder to not be.  And impossible to be appreciated for it, it appears...
