Eh, we're both a bit hermitic, actually.  :)  I'm far more active socially
online than offline.  Kelly's more or less non-social.  Hates crowds,
especially, as I've come to over the years.  We keep to ourselves, mostly,
aside from the rare concert of such.

True.  And I'd thought of that.  But the intro said it was developed by
blind people who loved toying with linux.  Which leads me to ask -how much-
help they had toying with it before they got to writing this.  Unless they
took the Windows->ssh approach at first before this let them work natively.
I suppose that's perfectly plausible.

Well with the chicken and the egg, what's the faulty premise?  I know what
my faith dictates, but there's no tangible proof of it.  Assuming faith is
disallowed in achieving a solution, what's the actual faulty premise behind
the question?
