I am at the LUG in Kruezlingen this Friday evening.  Silvan helped me  
get X11 and GIMP working on my OS X.  There is one less application  
that I need to use in Windows.  I am using OS X almost exclusively  
here.  Next - ubuntu.  Silvan was fiddling with audio editing  
programs tonight in Ubuntu.  Well, I had better get going.

I have read just one chapter in your book.  I have been busy, but  
very much enjoying Swissland.
