I'm posting from Kinko's at the moment. I've been here for the past two and a half hours, most of which has been occupied by trying to transfer a file from the station I'm sitting at to a station less than ten feet away so that the staff can burn it to a CD. There is a large sign next to me that declares "Use our CD Burn services and save paper!" which I stupidly assumed meant that this station had the capability to burn CDs. Well no. So the PDF that I made in the first 20 minutes of my residency here at the Overland Park Kinko's has to move to the station behind the desk. Ten feet away, across high-speed cable. Two hours later at $0.40 a minute, I'm still here. Fortunately I'm not paying for this adventure, and I'm making $24.00 an hour to sit here. Which I think makes my time worth $0.40 a minute as well.

That sound you do not hear is the last human bit of my soul expiring in a fit of ennui and evaporating, escaping into the bleakness of the copy center out my left nostril.

Must have been an NT/XP network... I *LURV* working in unix... the separation between machines is so easy to work with.

Of course it takes me the better part of a week trying to figure out how to copy something to CD... 8-)
