I'm afraid that this is what I'll have to do. I guess that I hesitate to 
start messing up with the Wiki, especially the BSoDs but this board is 
as close to dead as I've ever seen it.

Surely it must be possible. Let's hope we'll hear from whoever is 
supposed to take care of that.

Would you like for us (MadCello and I) to prepare an ODT file of your 
tutorial. AFAIK there are filters for them in most major word processors 
and being able to annotate and add to your book while studying is quite 
a neat feature. :)
Anytime, just say so.

Thanks for the company in this desert of a board.
