And believe it or not, I am glad you are amused.  But the funny part is that 
I haven't installed the latest way too small cages for my lab rats, and I 
haven't just spent 2 weeks making audio work again, if I could, some here 
probably give up and go watch the tube, and I am absolutely ecstatic that I 
no longer use an nvidia video card in any of my boxes, the last old, dusty 
and positively decrepit 4 meg TNT died last fall.  I do have dreams that 
someday I can install a fresh reddish hat and it will just work.
