So Mike, James, Don, hats off. Using old hardware and not replacing it with the latest iron on a regular basis really does have a significant impact on energy consumption. Wrt being pleased doing that: You are _so_ up for a ride whenever you choose to switch to contemporary hardware. I bet you a copy of BBC's "Changing World" that you will not go back to these old boxes with joy in your heart :) Wolfgang And Don, yes, KDE is getting slicker, same experience here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
