Hello list!

I'm a bit confused about not reading anything concerning my first mail!
Is it because the question is too silly or the hardware is too old? Do
you want to tell me I should read something I did not care for so far?

Can anybody at least give me a ping back so that I know my mails reach
the list? OK, they do - I read it on the list myself....

Thanks,

Boris
