That too.  Hasn't been an issue to me for quite some time now but it used to be
so I can relate to what you're saying.

Right.  I've seen a few DC/DC power supplies lately that are quite lighweight
but I can't speak for the quality as I have yet to try them out.  I do have one
but it was REALLY expensive and was meant more for industrial type harsh
enviroments and cost an arm and a leg.  Very nice but not that practical for
regular computer usage.

 CS> Heheh I'm multi-lingual <g>.

I used to be.  However Linux has met all my needs, and then some, so I've
become more uni with a multi as time went on.  :-)

Right.  I hear that all the time.  If it mattered to me I'd leave the work
stuff at work.  I don't need nor want that stuff at home and it's my dime so
Linux wins.

I am pretty sure you did.

Yeah I'd like to see that in action here at Kumalockasun.  I've been doing some
funky things with the wireless network here.  I think your setup might like
what it sees.

Life is good,
Maurice
