Actually I meant my CDE desktop is dull (the Win2k is only a fresh
install after all).  I'm not bigotted against Windows, but in my new job
as a PC shop jockey, niggardly Win9x jobs are starting to get under my
skin.  I sympathise with the people who have had to do this for years. 
Quick!  How does one go about forming a consultancy (I probably need
more experience first).

I find the sound is a bit funny out of the SunPCI jack, you too?
