Thanks Michael for this. It takes guts and a bit of moral vigor to
apologize. No hard feelings here, certainly.
Thanks!

Subject: Apology to the list
Dear Fellow ClassicCmp'ers,
I want to apologize for my recent behavior here. I'm sorry that I was
pushed over the edge by John's innocent suggestions of using some more
modern technology. I was clearly in the wrong state of mind when I wrote
that the purpose of my life was in using old technology and nothing new
and that I would shed blood (whether my own or anyone else's) over it.
Of course no piece of technology, old or new, is worth shedding blood over.
I don't know what came over me when I wrote that. Those who know me more
closely know that I've been leaning more and more over to alternative
spirituality and metaphysics and that technology of any kind, old or now,
currently plays a very small part in my life. So certainly I'm not going to
kill over it.
But I promise I won't bring up any more off-topic stuff here. Technology
can be fun, and even I am open to some modernisation. Like I'm trying to
transition from a VT320 to a VXT X11 terminal. To bring this back on topic,
I'll soon be working on a MOP server for 4.3BSD-Quasijarus for netbooting
these VXTs, and getting X11R4 to run on my 4.3BSD-Quasijarus hosts. Fun
fun fun.
Blessed Be everyone,
MS
