Hard to say how much patiants I have!  I'm having to adjust to no longer having
a scrolling wheel on the mouse (didn't think I'd miss that!).  3 hrs & 45
minutes now, up to sd 14 and Comet still wants Nf3.  Comet's on infinite for
time control, so it'll just do this till I hit esc.  I'm going upstair to watch
the second running of The Tonight Show, maybe I'll give it the weekend (don't
hold me to that!)
