And in a home office/network such as mind, you must always be
conscious of the different techniques involved in managing cat 5 and
one cat....or being managed by the cat one, who really is an
important contributor to many of my works.

I used to think ASP was the serpent that Cleopatra used to do herself
in, became confused by some Application Service Provider salesdroids,
and then was comforted to recognize the similarities between certain
salesdroids and bad-tempered snakes.
That doesn't mean that I am not on reasonable social terms with
several snakes of the reptilian sort. As an old IBM networking sort,
let me point out that the first three letters of snake are SNA.
Coincidence? You decide. Bwahahaha....
