I'd be happy to collaborate, but I'll slow you down.  As Ethan has
correctly pointed out, I don't even maintain the FAQ properly any more.
I'm afraid that I have too many projects on the go.  (You want a fun job?
Take a position where you are supposed to maintain ~100 PCs, but where
nobody has any idea where they are, what they are, how long since last
they were serviced, whether they are still under warranty, or even how
much memory is in them.  And that's the fun part of the job.  Geez, and I
thought grad schoiol sucked!  </whine>)
