    Sell that box full of stuff on ebay and sign it. I bet you could get a few hundred (maybe thousand) USD easy.

    I love the way it says “Recomended by Satanic Sysadmins”.

    Satan’s sysadmins? :) Kinda sadistic….I read about you on CNN – amazing what you are capable of. Keep up the great work, and keep learning…you are an inspiration to us all! Politics, gotta love’it.

    I worked in the graphics department for SYBEX in Berkeley California in 1982 for a few years. Did you like the VisiCalc for Scientists & Engineers? I illustarted it & pasted it up, using quaint old technology like rapidographs full of black ink and melted wax. We actually drew each of the flowcharts by hand.
