And where is my new 1967 VW Microbus? That's all you need if you compile
it with --add-heater-fan. So I had to upgrade to a 1998 Volvo V70 wagon.
Don't know where I'm going to get a new one when this one wears out.
Damn kids, GET OFF MY LAWN!
I actually feel with your there, Larry. I really like the *nixes because
of the great app store with things like ls, grep, sed, cc and ssh. It's
also why for most things I still use one of the BSDs. (Should we call
/usr/ports an app store now?)
