Linksys

[Amanda Lee]

Hey man! Probably true but I don't know how to do these things and
initially I'll  be using uh a Wind Blows ME box but when I grow-up and
graduate to Linux,
I'll work at this.

In the meantime, gotta take the braindead approach ha!  It's better than
leaving the door wide-open you know!
