  Actually, Blaine, you're right.  My tone was more than "a little pointed",
and that really wasn't necessary.  Actually the html message looks really
classy, and if take this opportunity to change my Pine configuration in
the appropriate way, I won't have to jump through any hoops to read it
next time.

  I'm interested in this Internet Phone business, too.  What are you using
in the way of hardware?  I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone
who is doing video capture of any kind under Lignux (there's a mailing
list at <listproc@example.com> SUBSCRIBE LINUXVIS-L yourname@example.com -
but the traffic is pretty low).

  I picked up an older video capture card (Movie Wave Studio, 1994) for
Y3,000 (down from the original Y56,000) the other day, but I get no
display at all on my monitor when I route my video card output through
the capture card.  Any one have any experience with these?  I wouldn't
mind playing around with this a bit even if it means putting msdog on
my machine again.

  Has anyone tried the newer Miro cards or Matrox's Mystique+Runner
combination?
