I'm amused to find that one of my two donations is literally
the only item that has not yet been bid on. Come on, folks,
it has one of those little "Unix and vi command sheets" in the
back! I *know* someone here wants to learn vi!

Sorry Rob, long live "ed!" I imagine it would be in demand with a wider
audience. It's probably a bit late this time around, but it might help
future auctions to give a brief recap of some of the items in the motd
announcement, like "blah blah auction conference, and join the bidding
on unix books, baked goods, a dream catcher, blah blah...."

someone want to bid on this and give it to rcurl as a gift? <g>
actually, since abmy unix library (about 6 feet long, as the books
were stacked) was stolen, i'd like to bid $1 for this library re-start.

You told me to "get a book about Unix!" a long time ago, in a galaxy far,
far away. So now I am -- $7.51 -- just to remind you the bidding is open!
robh -- the GREXBAT is not amused!
