:)  Maybe VAX...  I've been doing a weekly snapshot for mac68k.  It took
about a day to build on my Centris 610 (until it died recently; a Quadra
650 should be arriving any day to replace it).  If a verified cross-
compilation mechanism was available, I could do them on my PC in the
meantime.

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic
without looking to see whether the seeds move.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

While you don't greatly need the outside world, it's still very
reassuring to know that it's still there.
