:-D. In Hong Kong, where we THROW good working stuff away and replace 
with new fancy stuff (oh, and we never use the fancy stuff too) as a 
matter of course?

Maybe people here have stopped that with the financial crises of late 
but I'd have to be very lucky to find an AGP board.

Man, I was hearing all these stories about how KDE4 had a smaller 
footprint than GNOME and KDE3 and also how good qt4 was and BANG! KDE4 
is slow and kiosktool, the only group based desktop management tool 
there is on Linux, had not been ported.


Please forgive me if I feel kind of cheated.
