Guys, stop, I'm starting to feel old.

(I started with a SuSE 4.3. I think my dad read about it in c't and
bought it for some reason. Only recently I realized it's the second SuSE
box ever. For a complete newbie like me, it took about a month to get a
working X server, and then you stared at the beauty of fvwm, and watched
in amazement how the xeyes followed the mouse cursor...)
