Ed, you're scaring me, and you know I'm not
easily scared...
Me too -- Ed's going to be visiting here a couple of days after the
auction ends :-) Ed, you know that apartment is on your route to
here, only a couple of hours away?
Odd that it's a UK auction but priced in US$, though.

Us Yanks have the cash, we'll buy it and have it heli-lifted over the pond.
I'm gonna install it in my garden shed between the pool and the forrest-golf
course :)
Useful tip in every email campaign (Started by me, now)
To save battery life on your Linux laptop (Kernels > 2.4):
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode (Turns off disk cache flushing)
swapoff /dev/*Your swap partition* (Make sure you have enough RAM first!)
hdparm -S # -> delay before HD spindown, in multiples of 5 seconds. I use
48, which is 4 minutes.
Also, turn off syslog and cron daemons to prevent them from starting up and
hitting the drive.

Ed, your kittycat will *not* like being beamed into her litterbox,
she probably prefers walking over to it. Really. Tis not the
techno-type kitty...
