Well, since in their cases either A) or B) probably apply in spades I'm
not even going near these guys, before you know it you gotta help scrape
bits of 'em off some tree  ;)

The Germans seem to have a saying "brauchst ja kein Sturzhelm wenn du eh
kein Grips hast": "no need to wear a helmet if you haven't got a brain
to protect anyway".

Ruud,
Enjoyed the writing. I too have a Mac (TiBook) and can't wait to try Racer. I
got a Wintel machine just for GPL. Lovin' every minute! BTW it took me months
to get to those times. Maybe I'll have to try Greger Huttu's setups, too.
