Yeah....where can I get one of the cute little over-the-monitor ones?  I 
mean, I have tons of video cameras (we ARE a tv station) but I want a 
cool one.  =)

Amen, brother, amen.

I have Motif.  and I love mwm, it's just SUCH a hog.  But fvwm doesn't 
look quite right.  It's a subtle difference, really.  =)

Have you got a pointer to an elf version of the library?

Forthcoming is my "fvwm2+fvmw95-2TaskBar-TryingToLookAsMotifishYetSimple
ForTheEverydayUsersPurpleWavy" config

If I switch my personal wm back to mwm (I'm the sysadmin, I'm allowed to hog
memory) then I'll post my "TwisterHelenHunt" config

Glad to see that others appreciated the computers in 'Twister'.  Can 
anyone with any meteorological background confirm or deny the

laptop?  Cheap?  =)
