My wording was poor; I meant "too bad it doesn't have its own
utmp-like file that could hold..."
Mike Myers was a very generous person and forked out a lot of money for
the altos...something on the order of USD30000 in 1984 dollars I believe.
I'm not certain what portion of that was hardware costs versus OS
licensing fees. Given the era, I would guess the software was largely
thrown in and much of the cost was for the hardware.

1) What's the difference between "Hide" and "Unseen" in Backtalk?
2) In backtalk, is there a way to "ignore" a user?
3) Anybody aware of a bug in Mandrake 9.2 involving creating a bootkisk?
I keep getting a "mkbootdisk failed" error during installation. I'm
also having trouble putting the bootloader on a floppy. These
problems DIDN'T exist in 9.1.

backtalk should have a way to beat up other users.

In your personal settings, there is a twit filter option. Go to
"Entrance" and I think the link is there.

Re 155> Will this skip all items that have the person in my twit
filter as the only new response? Or will it show me these items with
their response hidden?

I checked the Help pages and there was no mention of a "Twit" filter.
Is this an undocumented option?
Speaking of the Help pages, it would be useful if there examples as to
how these options are employed.

Re 157 and 158, type ignore for Valerie's program and enter the names of your
twits when prompted. I see all items where the twit was the only one to
respond recently, with a blank line instead of the response. It does not skip
these items, unfortunately.

Re 159> That is unfortunate since it doesn't serve the purpose I'd use
it for :(

Unfortunately, filters in Backtalk only hide responses from twits,
not the fact that they responded.

Is it feasible to change that? I do understand that staff is pretty
busy though ...

You should send mail to janc to request any Backtalk changes. But, as you
said, he's pretty busy these days.

Last night was the second restaurant I noticed seeing U007 on the cash
register display while it was in "idle" mode. Other that saying "You are
James Bond" :-) does anyone know why that particular string shows?

Does anyone have an opinion on what it means when your hot water heater has
entered a mode where its pilot light goes out about once a month?

Time for maintenance call.

What would the maintenance accomplish? Cleaning of something to prevent, for
example, unobstructed flow of gas to burner? Or a range of things the "guy"
might check for?

Best case is the gas nozzle to the pilot is a bit clogged and a simple
cleaning will take care of it. Worse case is the the furnace in on the way
out and needs to be replaced.

Both the furnace (not involved) and the hot water heater are ~2 years old.

Could be a bad thermocouple, too, couldn't it? Usually there's one that
connects to the gas valve, to shut off the gas flow if the pilot goes out.
