Pine is the dog's breakfast.  I wouldn't inflict it on an ex-wife.

If my Gran was still breathing (she'd have been 109 this March) I'd give 
her either kmail or Firefox.  Probably on a Mandrake system.  But 
knowing her, she'd switch to Gentoo as soon as she had broadband (she 
was a feisty old bitch and I still miss her).

Consider urinals and the Army.  They were never a problem, because men
regard the entire earth as a urinal in waiting.  The side of the road,
the middle of the road, a tree, the ocean -- they don't discriminate.
The way feminists see oppression everywhere, men see urinals.  It's a
design feature.			-- Fred Reed, www.fredoneverything.net
