I can see already that this will probably be a series of more than one post…
You know you’ve been a geek a while when you find files like these lying around:
-rw-r--r-- 1 tim users 16650 Apr 24 2001 .pinerc ... D drwxr-xr-x 3 tim users 76 Aug 18 2003 .sawfish -rw------- 1 tim users 324 Jan 14 2003 .sawfishrc D drwxr-xr-x 3 tim users 95 Apr 24 2001 .sawmill -rw-r--r-- 1 tim users 4419 Apr 24 2001 .sawmillrc
Just in case there’s any doubt: I used Pine from about 1995 to 2000, before I bypassed mutt in favour of Emacs and Gnus. Sawmill was the original name before Sawfish renamed itself; either way, I no longer use just a simple window-manager but the whole KDE environment.
A slight tidy-up is called for…
