   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> Depends on what special deals there might be, eh...?   
      
   Either that or what happens to be available.  I waited too long a couple years   
   ago and had to "settle" for a 12 year old Glenfiddich.  :::sigh:::   
      
   The problem this year is that funds are short at the moment and there are a   
   few things I want to do that cost around the same as a good 12 year old so   
   I'll have to risk it.  However I am sure something decent for the occasion   
   will be available.   
      
    NB> And has this one also been sent from the raspberry pi...?   
      
   No.  It was the same one as this one and judging by the tearline it is an   
   eight core intel jobber I use for experimenting and was hosting "Little   
   Mikey's Brain" which used to be the fidonet node.  As you can see now it is   
   now part of the EuroPoint triad.  I believe I have them all in sync now.  The   
   Dutch one is the actual host of the EuroPoint and will show the Dutch version   
   of the cybertoast tagline when responding or posting to you.  This one has   
   LANG=en_CA.utf8 which is the Canadian version of English.  I doubt anyone   
   would notice the difference between this and en_US.utf8.  ;-)   
      
    NB> I saw that it was Mikey's Brain   
      
   Right.  I've corrected that now as shown below.  Also I am experimenting with   
   a beta version of bash whereas the other two are the latest stable version.   
      
    NB> I don't think it's broke, but I'm trying to fix it anyway.   
      
   That is known as standard operating procedure here.  Mind you there are always   
   something that needs fixing but usually not broken as such.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
