Greetings.  I meant that a bit off hand... Although for a few months,
Fote was like Linus, of Linux fame :-) (that's a compliment, really!)

Well, it's good to know that there is someone... Perhaps a "Testing,
1.2.3.4.." from him would be good. I missed that fact.

That's the other problem I have with making it more "robust" (from my
point of view, mind you)... it ends up being harder to remember... 
or am I the only one with a swiss-cheese memory? (would you believe that
I STILL use vi for EVERYTHING? I even have a copy for DOS and Windoze...)
Sick... I love it.

I have a 33.6Kbaud connection. I can use Netscape... but I use lynx.
I actually get the full speed of my modem that way... as opposed to
just "speeding" up the image loading.. oooooooOOOOooooo... 

I test multibookmarks with 1200 baud... just like I test my 
sci.electronics.* FAQ site with an array of browsers. That's where
most of my bookmarks are from (electronics + life + hobbies) note
order ;-)

Take care.
