so i sent this to the devel list... then waited a couple days... then 
followed the directions posted on the wiki and sent it to 
access at rt.laptop.org... and haven't heard anything from anyone at any time 
in the interim.

what's up, and what can i do to push things along?

are the admin types really that swamped?

thanks,

--elijah
