Anthony,

I'm using CA Antivirus which is bundled with ZoneAlarm, I told it
(antivirus) to exclude my C:\cygwin directory from being scanned.  That
really helped performance a lot.

I lived in Germany as a small boy and remember how the Germans tried to expunge 
what had happened.  Likely for good reasons but forgetting/suppressing history 
isn't good in the long run.

Fast forward to 1978, I'm at Peace Park in Hiroshima.  A young girl stops to 
ask us (group of off duty marines) why we bomb Hiroshima, we ask her, why you 
attack Pearl Harbor.  She blinks, and asks, what is "Pearl Harbor".

Incomplete history serves no one.

[] installed fortune with -a option and I feel left out, haven't seen anything 
racy.

btw, is .bash_profile the right place to call fortune?
