Ah, you're still having fun messing with Linux? :-)

Oh, it gets worse. I have a shell account so I can login in from anywhere and get my mail without my employer reading it. While it is theoretically easy to go through the telnet logs, the fact is that nobody at my company knows about telnet so even if telnet activity is set to log, the people who occasionally monitor the server will never bother. And better, these days I know the guy, the new boss relies on to get the server up. He hates his desk job and is moving into the shop out of bordom.
The reason my replies don't nest under the subject header is that I got in the habit of answering posts manually in the shell account. It's easier to use the ` ~r <filename>' and use emacs as the editor in the old unix mail program. If I use `reply' then the built-in editor is vi.
Anyway, after Doug posted something on Nader and his Underwood, I got a bug to get an reconditioned old portable typewriter. So, I bought a 1941 Royal Quiet DeLuxe. I've been practicing on it.
Last fall I got another bug for a mechanical watch and bought a beauty from some place in the UK modeled on an early 50s pilot watch. But this is pure consumerism, because a funky old digital Casio from the early nineties is still running. Pulling out it of a desk drawer to check, it says the time is 7:52, 4/17, Thrusday. It's two minutes fast. It's been in the desk for about four years after the strap pin broke and I fixed it with a paper clip.
