FC5 was released too early given the number of laptop issues I've heard
about, particularly the suspend option. Oh - and don't reboot via
telinit 6 - I've done that twice, and both times it came up dirty (fsck
and all that jazz). Works fine if I use the shutdown/restart button
interestingly enough. Ah well - using telinit 6 has never really been
kosher anyway.

But :shrug:

As far as marketing - I just bought a big jug of cat litter, and inside
it - they had a sample of dry cat food. Maybe we should try that. Anyone
have an inside contact at the Tidy Cat division of Purina? ;)
