18 I used Konqueror long ago, in the days of KDE 3.5.8, on Slackware, it was a great info viewer, much better than Emacs or info itself; also a good web browser. At that time, I had never heard of Gentoo. Now all I have to read info is pinfo.

20 When KDE went to 4.x, I had a much more difficult time finding my way, even icewm was much better.

22 Now it's been I-forget-how-many years since I last used KDE.

24 I am still not a fan of info, one of the downsides of GNU/Linux.
