    Yeah, I was just adding one deleted-component at a time, trying to
prove that even one worked; I wasn't going well.

    But, worst-case, I could always add "} grep -v "bus" | grep -v
"alarm" | grep -v "uncached" to the pipleline.  It actually works, but
I'd really like to get the hang of using the "newer" features of find
properly, ya know?

    (There actually are some new features that have crept-in since I was
last using them so often. Like how 'date' now understands terms like
'yesterday' and such...things go well for the cause, aye? )

    :)
