First, when I drink Ice-tea, I get a funny feeling in my mouth. I can wash it away with water, but then the taste is gone as well, besides, that would be too healthy. Help?
<br><br>Also, my old 386 doesn't run plasma, and I'm afraid my 500 mhz PIII laptop with Intel 815 graphics accelerator (decelerator?) won't run it happily either. Should I ask NVIDIA to develop an USB (1.1) graphics card, or can you put Aaron so to shame he'll remove most of plasma and bring back KDesktop, only allowing black&white backgrounds?
<br><br>Zack, you have a bad effect on other people. First, you make us waste time laughing due to your funny mails. Second, I get into a mood where I waste even more time wasting other people's time writing silly (and entirely useless, I should not send this but I will) emails.
<br><br><br>gosh, the invention of the Plasma Interface Guideline acronym seems to haven cost me my sanity, at least for some time...<br>
