This just in:

I had Jill drop you a line yesterday about your machine. The version of SuSE 8 I was using wouldnt work with the NForce motherboard, so I have gotten SuSE 9 and am installing it now. its giving me a bit of trouble, but I should have it finished tonight. I'll ship it down to NYC tomorrow and have it rolling early Wednesday.

Sorry for the downtime, I'll be giving you a weeks credit for it.

Not bad; a full week plus the brand new SuSE 9.  Good man.
