This can go TOO far -- the li.org page is -d-u-l-l- AND stale
as a result. The SLUG and the COLUG ( http://www.colug.net/ )
pages approach the 'fresh' yet stable in different ways --
SLUG is friendlier to newbies, and a bit more porderous as a
result; COLUG is aimed at an intermediate audience.

reassure your father's Oldsmobile.
