Steve: Not here - or Jill and I would be non-invasive Native Americans.
George: My resident botanist has taught me that all plants ARE
factories. What's more, their factories are self-contained, far more
efficient than the clunky ones humans build, and pollute far less.
Granted, I like my new computer as a nice add-on to the one I built
internally...
P.S.- More on the new computer at tomorrow's FOSS meeting.
Cheers from
