Amen Brother!

I mostly use rio (based on the same named windowing
system on Plan 9) for my window manager so at least
I get to avoid the dancing frogs.  But back in the '80s
we were using a much nicer approach to cut-and-paste
on X than the commercial guys ever managed.

Time to take my cane back inside now that I've finished
yelling at the kiddies to get off my lawn.
