Speaking of bookmarks, I have been meaning to do something with the
Linux related bookmarks I've accumulated and organized for myself. I'd
like to post them on the plug web site in a usable manner. In addition
to having them as links on the web site, I'm thinking that it'd be nice
to have them as a downloadable file that can be imported into a web browser.

Short of getting them on the web site, I can (at least) make them
available on floppies for the IFs (maybe I've found a use for all those
old floppies!). That way they can be imported into the "customer's" web
browser, post installation. I think that having a comprehensive set of
bookmarks installed would be a nice "value added" touch.

I guess I've just voluteered to be a bookmark supplier, if that's 
something that the group wants. Yea? Nea?
