As a postgrad in the late 80s I made some extra book money acting as a helper in the computing lab. A few of us would be posted there, for undergrads to come to for help.

My Guru Labs coworker mentioned something to me today, that our boss mentioned to him (or a class, who knows), and that is that every operating system turns to Unix eventually. Thinking about this for a second, he's right.

OK, I've now tried KDE 4.1. I'd been assured that it would be better than KDE 4.0x. It is. That's the good news. The bad news is that I still find KDE 4.1 to be inferior to KDE 3.5x.
