good god! so, you heft'd yourself up to the third floor with casts in tow
and stayed up there six weeks?!

so a wap and shared drive on your home lan wasn't an option? ;^) i know what
you mean though. i'm glad work keeps giving me new ones. the last one i
bought was a 386 32mb ram with a whopping 200mb hd. i took win98 off of it
and put knopix on to see if i could use it for anything...unless i
command-lined, xwindows blew just as hard. i actually gave it away to my
neighbor two weeks ago...ne'r a tear was shed.

best wishes on a speedy and full recover.
