[mind frying thingy about AT&T's asenine stuffed shirt department trying
to shaft everyone using X windows or just about any window system ever,
jeezus h. christ there are people that would try to patent wiping your ass!]

Wow. This cannot be serious! YIPPPEEEE!!! Maybe, just maybe, it's an oooo
so slim chance, and it's got it's downside, but possibly this could be the
beginning of the end of X windows.. the ugliest windowing system I have ever
set eyes on (the code, not the output). I mean have you SEEN the source for
the sample X-server? Huuurgh, blup. Grruuuuggghhh. The people that wrote that
muck should be in a rubber room. :-)
