Niccolo Flychuck gets the magic potato this week.  Anyone
want to amend this thing to give the recipient a chance to submit
proposals to take advantage of it?  Could be fun.

I had hoped to be announcing my choice for a Supreme Court nominee by this
time, but Iam delaying the announcement to give on of the three
prospective candidates on my short list time to reply.  Look for an
announcement later tonight.

Subject: Acka: Wilma downtime

Wilma will be down for a couple hours tonight; I will be upgrading to a
larger hard disk and copying everything off the smaller of wilma's 2
current disks so I can move it to my home machine.

Nobody complained during any of the UTnet outages (at least 3 in the last
month, one of which lasted for almost 3 hours ~8-11 PM CST), so I hope
this doesn't bother anybody too much.

The doofuses at a local discount computer shop gave me the wrong drive, so
the upgrade will have to wait.
