They must not be teaching the meaning of the word "hyperbole" in
junior high schools (or middle schools, depending on location)
these days.

FInally got it working so I can _read_ the darn thing. I'm not sure
how, as I changed both the X font server config & added the
DisplaySize parameter to xorg.conf. Then restarted X (it is nice to be
able to reconfigure & restart just the gui, not reboot the whole OS).

I've heard Seamonkey might be better. I downloaded it, but haven't
installed it yet.

I get the distict impression Fred & Rod haven't a clue about what a
production environment means. With multiple servers and a support
group that's responsible for them.

When I was in that environment, we tried to document as much as
possible in the various config files, if comments were allowed. At
least then there was a good chance that a change would be
documented. Especially the emergency ones made at 3AM!

Or you never ever could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.

Guess which pathetic little pig ignorant prat has just got egg all over its pathetic little face, yet again ?

Been involved in it since before you were even born, thanks.

Got a big towel handy for your face, prat ?

And even someone as stupid as you should be able to work
out how to document any GUI, if someone was actually
stupid enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane.

No wonder you got the bums rush, right out the door.

You could at least update your insult dictionary periodically, it's
definitely getting old and tired.
