Thankfully I just have to set up those two IDEs and I'm good. Although
I'm hunting down BP7 for my collection...I had it at one time and lost it
in a HD crash. Before I did this, I'd sit here and stare at the ceilings
(I do have DirecTV here, but I'm over here in Atlanta and the DirecTV
account based in LA, so I'm watching stuff on Pacific Time and not EDT).
This has been a nice way to pass the time. :)

Heh, I know that only too well. Especially with hurricane season upon us,
I will get calls at oh-dark-thirty saying that one of our customers has to
switch over to us for backup service, then I get the pleasure of rousing
engineers out of bed... :P

I don't have much of a choice. My health is not very good and medication
I take makes me incredibly sleepy during the day and it's hard to resist
it. Thankfully, the nightly dose is much, much smaller and doesn't
include the medications that make me sleepy.
To keep a little on-topic, I've been downloading a lot of the stuff listed
in the FAQ. Good stuff in there. I have this excellent freeware
TV-workalike unit called Vision! I need to learn to use so I can start
writing my own text-mode GUI programs (Vision! is OO, but the interface is
not OO-easy for me to learn to start with).
And this will probably be my last post for the next couple of days, this
is my Friday night. <G> I'll check in (if I remember) today and Friday.
Later,
Sean
