Robert - I'm not in a hurry. I'm not a hardcore gamer. I like the traditional ways of wasting time, like fortune - for me, fortune has always been one of the main attractions of linux. My slackware installation on my old box gives me a fortune every time I log on. With MDK I have to run it. I need to work out which script I need to modify in MDK in order to have fortune acknowledge my logging on. I also need to find out how to get asterisks for passwords. In slackware it was explained in a comment in some file or other. So little time - so much to do!
It turns out that hubs had the haptime virus! We had the means to deal with it saved on his hard disk, due to a previous infection. Has anyone else noticed this virus recently? I thought viruses were like teenage fashion. I didn't think they stayed out there once their time had passed. It gives new meaning to the term retrovirus! As the sergeant in Hill St Blues used to say, "Be careful out there!" Now I'm wondering about my secrity level, etc. I seeem to remember a fortune re paranoia being simply a matter of looking at life in terms of fine detail?
