What about *nix???

[John Esak]

Absolutely Ken... I am much happier to be me than Ken...  So :-)  :-(

If that is what you were thinking.... :-)  But having Ken's sharp mind would
would definitely elicit a :-(   :-)  since I will never have that.  

Hell, two smileys could never depict what I was thinking by that statement.

Hey, It should be getting pretty hot down there about now, huh?  We just had
a really freezing cold one last night.  I still made it down to the club to
play a bit, but today I bought gloves and a new jacket!  Problem is I can't
bring myself to use the hood when I have all these great Ozzy hats!  How do
you guys keep your ears warm... Or is it just that it never gets cold enough
down under to worry about your ears?  :-)
