Yea, everybody likes to pick on me. LOL |

People seem to forget tho that I have told people to try to use hal, |
| 41 |
even with xorg. Sometimes it just works. When it doesn't, remove the |
| 42 |
hal USE flag for xorg and life goes on. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I also think sometimes the joke is on everyone else. Even the guy that |
| 45 |
wrote hal has given up on that monster. That says a LOT to me. |
