After my recent stay in hospital (think `One flew over the cuckoo's nest' except it was a general hospital.), I returned home to find that the family had `cleaned up'. I had to get a computer, and go a one about 10 years old (no EFI). Now I have come to the confusion that computers (general) have not improved in almost 10 years, which would almost bring this subject into topic for this group. I would think that docbooks are a sorta subcomputers. -- greymausg@mail.com
