	Good goddlemitydam! Can one old man *learn* all that? Is
there a little 5-volume *introduction* to it?

	Don't get me wrong: I'm *very* glad to know there is an
uninstaller, amd more so to know that rpm is it, or one of them.

	But even just "info rpm" hit me like an avalanche ....

	You know, somebody between jobs could do worse than write
an introduction to linux for the terminally-disgusted-with-MS but
subtechnoid population.

	The baby boomers have been following everything I do all my
life -- it's like having a horde of lemmings at your heels. But
it's consistent enough to risk a few predictions on.

<puts on tall pointy blue hat>

	I foretell that the number of retirees, given time to do it
last, who plunge into getting away from MurkySlop at last, will
mushroom in the next five to ten years.
