### Not Linux

Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our new mirror sites.

Amy Kukuk was a great help this month, putting together News Bytes, More 2 Cent Tips and The Answer Guy. I'm going to be giving her more and more each month.

I've had a lot of fun going to see the "Star Wars" movies again. Space movies are so much more fun at a theater. I was amazed to discover that I can remember the first time I had seen each of them (theatre, company, etc.). I was pleased to see so many kids there enjoying the epic for the first time on a big screen. Riley and I had a lot of fun competing to see who recognized new scenes first (nudge, nudge). I thought they did a pretty smooth job of inserting the scenes without being annoyingly noticeable. I still have to wonder how the people of Tatooie kept the streets clean with dinosaurs as pack animals?

Have fun!
