Truly sublime Robert! <grin>

I mainly use another distro as my desktop and use Ubuntu as my LAMP 
(without the P) server, so it's pretty stable and I rarely *need* to 
read this list. I do though, most days... Why you ask? I'm glad you did. 
Ever since this list was subtitled, a Day in the Life of Karl, it's 
become so much more entertaining... Sometimes, there's even 
enlightenment....

I do find a unique irony that Karl F *LARSEN* and the Far Side creator 
Gary Larsen share the same lastname... Sorta makes the list a Far Side 
meets Dilbert now LOL
