Every day. This seems to be of an unusual nature to you.
There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

 We have to ask these questions of ourselves because SOMEBODY won't give up his secrets.   :P

my guess would be time compression of some kind  ;)

I think Tex has secretly developed a 7zip or bzip2 for time compression, and the only forum member with enough guts to try it was Joe  ;D

I am still waiting on my K9gzip stuff. Supposed to allow time travel. It won't get me to another galaxy but it's supposed to be pretty cool.   

I think he's dragging his feet.
