Tauno is a really common name,  your just in the wrong part of the

It is the universal law demanding a poorly documented MTA.  Now that
sendmail is pretty well documented and easy to use; they had to change
to a different/new MTA.  All part of O'Toole's corrallary.

My wheel mouse wheels if I plug it in AFTER I boot, and doesn't wheel if
plugged in WHEN I boot.  Wierd.
