David Kaufman noted consternation with ...
>>Our friggin hosting provider!
Thusly:
>>First, while we get a measly terabyte of bandwidth per month (not that
>>we need or use most of it) now they go and offer ten terabytes per month
>>free on new servers -- bitches ...what about us?
And:
>>THEN! While I must've wasted three solid *weeks* of my life this year

>>Debian 4 (etch), 5 (lenny) *and* Ubuntu "8.x" and "9.x"! (pre-installed

Ouch! Oh my. The 'cost' of being a technology leader I suppose. ;-)

Excellent point!
Uh Yeah, I had been wondering about that ... but kind of afraid to ask since my guess was that maybe nothing was going on. Ya know - if there is any simple little thing (oohing and aahing over the pretty lights, maybe?) that some old luddite can help out with - lemme know and I will try to do that!
Thanks for your effort Dave!
Sincerely,
