IJMC Those Poor Welsh

                         IJMC - Those Poor Welsh

Well, the trip went well. Took me almost another week to get back to 
normal on the 'puter though which of course delayed these glorious 
missives. Fortunately though, the company has now provided me with a 
laptop...I am going to have to try harder in the future to avoid my 
posting duties! Now if I can only figure out how to install Linux on the 
poor laptop beast without repartitioning the system. Sheesh, such lofty 
goals...I should stick closer to Earthly realms and figure out how to 
clean my room...                                                   -dave
