Yes, and Novel just donated to the X.org project, the latest version of 
their whiz bang super accelerated x accelerator eye candy.  They have a 
site up with a capture of the stuff they did at a show in Germany a 
couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you it was damned impressive even 
when played back by an mplayer pluggin. I should have bookmarked the 
site, but hindsite seems to be the better working sight for me today.:(

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
