 	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 ...
