What a way for a poet to get his work read.
just write something you want the peolpe to read, then write an incredible
excellent Software (some mathematics-software for example, that you give the
question (in no special form) and it than explains to you, what it does to
solve it and why it does it that way) implement this routine and, voila, all
that want to use the prog have to read his masterpiece. ;-))

Naja, das war dann wohl irgend so ein wichtiger Typ (Italiener nehme ich
an). ;-))

But now (more serious):
What about a kind of support-collector-formular-script?
Implemented in muLinux, which by it self collects data as the
version-number, wich devices are installed...
If a user submits a Problem, you will be sent the relevant information about
system to.

Problem is: If mailsystem or network doesn't work, this can't help either.
:-(

Just an idea...
