Hi,

Actually a series of hardware losses, first a harddrive, then a memory module,
now it looks like the mobo failed.  Damn!

Plus an OS upgrade, with the need to recompile a lot of custom software and
update tons of config files.  It's really quite a large project, complicated by
the fact that hardware keeps failing (and for 4 years nothing failed, all of a
sudden . . . .).  And then Neil keeps distracting me with political debates on
kde-cafe ;-).

Currently I am trying to get the mobo fixed, if not I will need to replace it. 
I'm quite sure $1,000 could fix all the problems . . . . Maybe the KDE League
could help since the site runs on there too ;-) . . . .

Thanks for the appreciation :-).
