I just bought another keyboard today, it's quite nice, though I'm
feeling a built guilty that it's a Microsoft one...

But seriously Karl -- waggles eyebrows -- hold off a moment before
posting.  If you'd wrote about something difficult, and solved it, or
not solved it, that's the sort of posting that fits in with the mailing
list.  But the "I'm going to try something" message is just premature.

As I said before, try and find a user group (meetings with fellow Linux
users where you bring along your boxes and/or talk about what you do
with them).  I think you'll enjoy it.
