    Unrelated piece of fun info:

    Sunday I went to a local motel with my girlfriend (I'm hosting two 
ladies on my home and primitive noises may not be too comfortable for them). 
When we were checking out, there was a monitor on the out with your bill 
and...wow, it was a terminal, connected to some kind of *nix system, 
everything was serial-based!!! I felt myself in 1980!!! :oD

    Very interesting view :D
