on the contrary, my dear friend, enjoy! the dance of the seven veils has begun. this is the first veil coming off: a few of us can get teasing glimpses, but not of everything initially, and we cannot touch yet. that's a start. wait till the seventh veil comes off. over the next few years, watch how M$ dances the dance of the seven veils. they will get there. in the words of agent smith from the matrix: "it has that certain sound of inevitability." roasted and salted peanuts, anyone? :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
