As Frank da Cruz has already posted, that ain't the case. For someone
who's been around computers for so long, you seem to have no idea that
the net occasionally Simply Doesn't Work.

Such pithy advice, coming from one who last year publicly embarrassed
himself by ranting at yours truly for the crime of being a student at
Columbia when I asked a question regarding academic discounts for
Caldera WordPerfect in comp.os.linux.misc. (Curious folks are
referred to DejaNews for the complete amusing story; the thread starts
at message ID <slrn4p2pk8.5t7.ylee@simile.cc.columbia.edu>.)
Yeechang, who does happen to work for AcIS (though Mr. Leibovitch
certainly didn't know that last year), but not for the Kermit Project,
and certainly does not speak for it or for the university
