Thanks, but I think I'll go on skipping sound. Otoh, I am
interested to discover Ubuntu.ppc exists.

In fact, I let it start with tabs, and quick closed the one with
youtube on it. Maybe I'd better skip the Al Gore parody ...
Epiphany reminds me of the gray squirrels I hunt in Southern
Appalachia. You can get a good clean hit, so that they fall out of the
top of a tree like a sack of meat, landing with a loud thud -- and see
them in a few minutes forget they're dead, and start to crawl off.
Or was this a failure of the FC5 Force Quit button? I've never had
that happen before ...
