I was thinking that someone may see some USE flags that are no longer 
needed in most cases.  Some may not even be still in use as far as 
portage is concerned.  In other words, portage doesn't even recognize 
them as a option.  Basically, I do some picture stuff, surf with 
Seamonkey, Firefox and sometimes Konqueror, sometimes get on chat with 
Kopete, play Solitaire, watch a video on youtube sometimes.  Oh, I print 
stuff with my HP printer and download pics from my Canon camera. 

I never noticed that emerge --info doesn't show the USE flags I 
removed.  That is sort of weird.  I was thinking that it showed the USE 
flags with not only the profile but what I have set in make.conf which 
would include the ones turned on and turned off.   Neat info.
