	I have my own snippet here. Our step daughter just came home with a new
cell phone wondering out loud how she was going to get music onto it.
Before I could even open my mouth she almost shouted it couldn't be done
with Linux because it said so right on the cd. So I copied a song to a
micro SD card, shoved it in her phone and played it for her.
	As an aside, I seem to have cemented my place as the crazy old man that
plays with penguins!
