Thanks, Ron. I've got to give thanks and credit to the guys and gals in the world of Linux. That's where most of the brains and creativity in the digital world really are. Their generosity in sharing their work lets people like me and others stand on their shoulders and do stuff like this.
When I studied computers (NTSU), the work was relegated to an extremely cold room in the basement of the business admin building, punch card machines, arcane flow charts, a surly chain-smoking operator and a computer roughly the size of a VW Van. Probably was the same at U of A or ASU.
