I agree with nikoPSK, that is good, rhubarb, I learned some commands from that too! I will be able to have some fun with that espeak command now. Excellent, thanks very much!

Anyone know how to eject the cdrom using cygwin?

Back when I was "borrowing" wireless from the neighbors, I had my desktop hooked up to my old compaq laptop (the only thing with a wireless card), via a serial cable. Oh yeah. That took some time to setup but dang it worked well! If only I had made screenshots.

I remember wanting to do that with my desktop and Sony Clie UX-50 one day...but I was much younger and didn't know the wonders of Linux (I still wouldn't know how to do it anyway!).

Okay, how about turning my computer into an alarm clock that also boils the kettle every morning?
Here is a link to my photo album with pictures of how I do that, http://picasaweb.google.com/herman54...terMakesCoffee

EDIT: @ nikoPSK, LOL! I like them all, but the warranty one is my favourite!
I also have replaced a 100 watt power supply with a 550 watt power supply, http://herman543.googlepages.com/boo...igpowersupply2

Wow, look at the top left of the screen. 15 FPS. I wonder if they are clustering that somehow to get enough graphics power (and outputs).

It would be awesome to try a setup with that much monitor space, but that definitely is not cheap...
