Sorry for that one. I found that the quickest way to format a list in a half-bearable way and didn't notice the width (big screen). Maybe PG can be bothered to add some kind of list markup one day...


>All three systems

What does this mean?


nix (athena, redhat, debian, ubuntu), windows and mac. i've done some development on sparc, too, but i never felt comfortable.
