[techtalk] Screen Savers

[Rosie Nelson]

And if you do get TechTV and were like me and said, "oh, I'll get the tapes 
from someone" when you were running late and realized a bit later that 
everyone I knew did that and no one taped it, the show where they visit the 
university will air again on Sunday at 5pm and 1am according to their schedule.

Can you blame *anyone* for not wanting Windows? Look at it..my Windows are 
smudged and almost impossible to see out of. (Grrr..just a few more days 
before I can set up my old Linux box again..waiting for a part..) Just more 
proof that some operating systems don't have quite the potential of others..

Maybe a few screen shots will mysteriously appear soon <eg> though I can't 
imagine who would do something like that..
