Again, I think that you have a bunch of people waiting patiently for a
question to appear, that they are qualified to assist with. Lucid is
about as tight as Hardy ever was, IMHO. So, there are no huge computer
issues to rant about. THIS IS GOOD! It's kinda like being a fireman
during the Monsoon season, we're all just standing by. 

On the Kubuntu list the only major problem is sound. KDE ham-fisted
Pulse with some crap and some users have problems. I never thought I
would say this but I love Pulse now. :) Ric
