`so, what would you know about it boyd?'
i'll tell you this:
`faces' is based on the Eighth Edition UNIX `vismon'/`sysmon', a system
i personally booted up, bug fixed, and enhanced in Sydney with John Mackin
and Piers Lauder.
another piece of the puzzle is that i've used the Plan 9 version
(whose name i forget) at Bell Labs; it's small it works, and is
a pleasure to use. you can try and mail my Bell Labs Plan 9 account,
but it will bounce.
yes, i've read _Face The Nation_
i have a Ninth Edition manual, as well as both Tenth Edition manuals.
the PostScript Plan 9 manual sits on my desk.
what i am saying here is that that i can distinguish between good
and bad software. i use faces every day, and everyday it's blatant
that it's core functionality is broken.
so, in closing, i'll quote Guns 'N Roses (Slash/Lank/Rose):
don't damn me
when i speak a piece of my mind
'cause silence isn't golden
when i'm holding it inside
'cause i've been where i've been
an i've seen what i've seen
i put the pen to paper
'cause it's all a part or me
