... and on a topic that I actually kind of care about (still), namely Multicast
Benchmarking. I used to fiddle around with multicast, like being the RIPE
Mbone WG chairman and also European Mbone coordinator... I also used to fiddle
around with the DVMRP/Mrouted/SNMP-Mrouted code (I helped porting it _properly_
to SysV machines). It was now a long time I talked to Steve, Bill, Mark and all
those fellows... (Debby will know who they are I guess...)

Well, TCL isn't for everyone... ;O)

A Hammond A-100-series in good condition IS a good furniture, they are designed
to be exactly that. A GX-1 with speakers is the 70thies equalent.
