Heh.  Thanks for the kind words.  This would be an appropriate time to
say good-bye to the CLUE group, I think.  I have accepted a job transfer
to my employer's head offices in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and I live
in Calgary now.

I won't be attending the CLUE meetings obviously, unless I happen to be
in Denver on a meeting night.  It was a pleasure knowing y'all and being
a part of the group.

You might be interested to learn that I was the person who introduced
Linux to this company; back in 1997, I deployed a Linux server.  Since
that time it has never crashed, although it is on faster hardware now
than it was then.  The Linux use in the company has mushroomed, and in
fact the reason I'm here is to help the R&D department re-engineer our
entire product line to run on Linux.

I like to think I've had a pivotal role in bringing the benefits of
Linux to the company.

Our product managers have implemented a strict no-Microsoft software
policy for our field products.  (We still use M$ in the office, of course,
but our field products are all embedded servers etc. and there is no
reason to use Microsoft software for a custom embedded solution.)

Anyway, good-bye for now.  I may still lurk on the lists but I haven't
had time to read them lately.
