I can tell you guys are not contractors.  I *NEVER* stay in one place
long enough to accumulate all that junk in the office.  I *NEVER* put
anything in a desk or filing cabinet at a client's.  I live out of my
briefcase, but you should see my briefcase: I just got a bigger one
for Christmas this year.  It has a built-in filing cabinet and
everything (no kidding!).  It weighs probably 70 pounds when full.  I
also keep an enourmous amount of stuff in my computer, eli.wariat.org,
which is accessable over the internet at all my clinets' offices.  You
all don't think I have 32 MB RAM and 4 GB disk on a P-120 just for the
Higher-Fire archives, do you?

At this moment, "top" shows:

11:28am  up 3 days, 11:45, 15 users,  load average: 0.86, 0.27, 0.09
128 processes: 127 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  8.9% user, 37.6% system,  0.0% nice, 53.8% idle
Mem:  31160K av, 30644K used,   516K free, 13544K shrd,  4652K buff
Swap: 123884K av, 36696K used, 87188K free

And the disk drives (all 3 of them) currently have a total of 51901
files on them and the space looks like this:

Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda2             198299   75832   112227     40%   /
/dev/sdc1            2029283  926167   998208     48%   /usr
/dev/sdb2             903905  125018   732193     15%   /home
/dev/sda3             687861  392658   259671     60%   /net
/dev/sda1             118518  114258     4260     96%   /dos

All this and it is basically just sitting there doing nothing right
now!
