You just put tears in my eyes with laughter.  I understand now what it 
means.  It isn't that simple for me, though.  Every time I read the 
manual I get confused.  I wish there was a page like the one for 
learning how to google for that.  The manual puts you at a level of 
adding a -a or -r or something like that, I just found out what dpkg 
means.  I am anxiously awaiting a day when I can type in man and can use 
the information I read.

I just love you all.  How can you put up with me?

Steven
