But then my surgeon cleared me to lose the sling, and I felt it would be disingenuous of me to use is in the video. So no, the injury was not a result of this ridiculous build. Although I was mildly concerned about shooting myself across the room and re-injuring it!</p>

I considered building a housing for the base and a button in the corner to really recreate the original look, but as so often happens, my deadline superseded my grandiose plans.<p>We haven't tried it with Linux yet, but if we do, you can bet we'll post something about it!</p></p>

(They tended to wear out and/or break frequently -- I'm pretty sure I bought at least one replacement set.)<p>I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten this box to work under Linux?</p><p>Anyway, I can sure see how some folks would be really helped out by it. Thanks for showing it!</p></p>

<p>Hey, Rob, I think you got your parenthesis and brackets reversed here... easy to do... I have to look under "formatting help" to see which way pretty frequently...</p></blockquote>
