I gave a talk at a local linux users group, where people were talking
about their favourite interfaces, etc. I've put some notes together
that come in at 9 screens (I'm running 80X43 textmode); I don't see how
I can reduce it any further. I've also included a basic config based on
my setup. The last few pages are a tutorial on things like
sloppy-focus, raising, X Window geometry, etc. I've also included basic
install instructions.
My ISP has a low-traffic webpage, so I'd prefer to have the files
posted elsewhere. The zipfile, including a screenshot, is 52 kbytes; 10
kbytes without the screenshot. I don't think people would appreciate
even the small file as an attachment to this list.
Anybody who has a website, or wants a copy, let me know. This
document is a first draft and could probably use some polishing.

If you had purchased $1000 of _at_home stock in 1999, today you would
have $1.30. If you had purchased $1000 of beer in 1999, today you
would still have $59 in empty cans.
