Steven, okay, but please don't say we didn't warn you. If you ever 
'upgrade' to kde 4.3 beta, you won't hear a sound from me.
Oh.. I forgot, you can't do that now.. it's been taken off.
Anyway, have fun. Still... there are many other ways to have fun besides 
Kubuntu, like skydiving, scuba, shark baiting <chortle>
.....are you sure there are not many things you want do first? <chortle>
