Hey folks..tried to post this, but my email program ate it..

Figured its about time to post the entire FAQ's and update them a bit. They
should be formatted a bit more friendly, and I've added and removed some
bits from part III.
I'll send one right after this, wait a few minutes, then send the next one,
wait, and the next one after that. Trying to avoid the problem where some
of them don't get distributed..

I'll be reading through some of my 4 megs of backlogs to try and get some
answers for some of the other game related FAQ's that the list gets.
Problem is, I don't pay much attention to most of those arguments myself :-)

I'm still not completely sure if I will be going on vacation next month,
but chances are looking good. I've had several people asking who the
Deputy Assistant Fearless Leader will be, and only time will tell. If you
don't know who it is, its probably not you! :)

I desperately want a second PC, so I can install Linux and actually
learn how to use it this time.. donations greatfully accepted.. :)

Phew..its damn hot in my room.
Of course, if you have questions/concerns/carp, feel free to fire them at me.

Errr....
You do realise it's possible to partition your hard drive and use different
partitions for different OSs don't you?

I know someone who had Win95 on one, linus on another and I think OS2 on a
third.....

Only really practicable if you use OS/2. The bootmanager shipped with
it is the only thing that makes a multi-OS computer usable IMO. Of
course having OS/2 is a good thing even without that bootmanager :) So
lets start an OS-war.

<yawn>I'll simply ignore it ...

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
