(I know it is hard to believe that we are in c.s.a.a hearing a complement!) In the past week, we have seen output from various commands on your system (Oh, we have seen it before too), and I must say most impressive. And I love the little quotes we get ``And I'm not exactly a stranger to OS design/implementation,'' Every time I see a new message from you, I wonder what new bomb- shell you are going to drop on us, too cool. Thad, you boast in style, keep it up. Hey, when are we going to hear the life story of Thad, I'd bet that it would be quite interesting, as I'm studying to go into the same field you are in. Lest you think I jest (I am most sincere), here are my system stats. In your fine tradition, I will let my commands do my talking.
