Uh . . . what? I'll try pasting something: Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] Yep, works great. In fact, I *love* that middle-click paste thing, and on the rare occasion that I find myself sitting down in front of an MS Windows machine, I find myself quickly lamenting the existence of middle-click pasting, and start wondering why MS Windows is such a primitive excuse for a "desktop" operating system. I don't know where you get the idea that MS Windows is so good at being a "client" and FreeBSD is so bad at it. --=20 Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] Mike Maples, as quoted by James Gleick: "My job is to get a fair share of the software applications market, and to me that's 100 percent." --uCPdOCrL+PnN2Vxy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkkjGuAACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVcCQCgpypcZsoVdD+dsiz5i1x/X2Sv 7CkAn0juutXDoraEOaqo5LDee8EFCw3l =4cyr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uCPdOCrL+PnN2Vxy--
