Sorry, but to even possibly consider Chris Demetrio a random flamer is
somewhat akimbo to calling Bach a cheap hack...

OK.  I'm delighted to report that I'm responding to you on my SHARK,
displaying on my big-screen TV, using an IR keyboard and pointing device
from the fat, dumb, and lazy comfort of my living room couch (OK, I
cheated on the IR keyboard and mouse, since they come with a hardware
receiver module, but I did have to patch XF86Config, pms.c, and blow away
a bunch of the IGS registers in my AV driver to get it all to work!).

Cheers!
