Actually, the wifi card lights don't always go
off. VLC video playage halts, but sometimes I'm
able to continue viewing pics w/ GQView.

Can I upgrade to sid and just hope for the
best? Will upgrading my kernel to something
greater offer a chance of escaping this three
minute halt every four or five minutes?
It's a serious damper and I had previously
thought the Pismos were simply and obviously
the best laptop in the world - bar none.
I still want to believe. Am I on my own?

I could recite the floating point message in my
dreams, but I'd rather offer the angels the
latest buzz on the most tremendous, slightly
scary, complete and well-intentioned operating
system in the world - Debian.

May I request a just a hyperlink? (I've got to
send this mail or I just might lose it in a
freeze and X crash.) Thanks again, for even
just a smiling face. :) --
