Well, my wife hasn't actually told me that I can't _have_ another 
computer: she's just said that I can't _buy_ another computer.  I got 
away with the last free computer I brought home, so maybe I should try 
it again.  I've always really wanted an Indigo, but couldn't ever find 
one at the surplus sales at Purdue.

So, if no one else talks you out of it, I'll take it.  My wife is going 
to be attending a ``teaching math to your kids'' seminar that night, so 
I'll probably bring the kids to the downtown library and make the 
meeting.  I could pick it up then.

If any of you are homeschooling young'uns, you should contact Joy Shier 
at the Raven School office (796-2112, or see 
http://www.ravenschool.com/aboutUs/officeLocations.htm ) about the 
seminar.  I think that they're charging $20, and I think it is worth the 
money.  I've talked (last year) to the woman who's putting it on, and 
she has a lot of good ideas, and an infectious enthusiasm.  She's 
selling curriculum and materials, but if you want to try her methods, 
that's a good thing.  It's worked well for us so far.  Anyway, enough 
sales pitch.

If the Indigo has an OS installed, maybe we can play a game of Freeciv 
or Flightgear on it.  Anyway, I'll see you at the meeting!
