Wow, cool. Must tell my pal who just spent IRP 900 on a Lazy-Boy, or
"Ladyboy" as another friend called it, with hilarious results: "Blah just
bought himself a ladyboy -- very comfortable to lie in apparently".

I can recommend CSpotRun as a doc reader BTW -- it's free software, and it
has a cool squished-text mode to get more on the screen. Vexed is quite
good too, a kind of block-dropping puzzle thing, and I'm currently hooked
on SameGame (just like same-gnome).
BTW -- if you want to be able to read LWN, LinuxToday, slashdot, NTKnow
Wired News and many others on your Pilot, yis might want to try out
http://www.clubi.ie/jmason/software/snarfnews/ , my perl script which
kicks AvantGo's ass (apparently) and runs on Linux (of course),
--j.
