More like a cross roads. Don't tell anyone, but I have a beta version
of JNOS that runs like a service now - no console, no sessions. You 
just run it using 'jnos &' or similar. This is in preparation for
perhaps a WIN32 version of JNOS - yes, I admit it, it's tempting
to do, imagine JNOS in your systray.

No.

No.

It's just a kernel patch, nothing much to celebrate. I don't particularily
like beer. Molson club always churned my stomach. I do like dark rum, and
got a chance to try Jack Daniels with Fresca years ago (thanks to a group
of Americans that came to stay at a fishing camp that I worked at in north
western Ontario back in the late 80's). Now that was good :-)
