I doubt OpenBSD was actually designed to save battery.  I think secure
/servers/ are their target.  I think best system is the one you know
best and like best.  OpenBSD has been very comforting because you read
their documentation and you just understand everything.  OpenBSD has
been giving me a strong sense of control, which is what makes software
use pleasurable.  (See Donald A. Norman.)

This is the truth!

You give me hopes. :)

I don't have VMD actually.  What I could disable (that was enabled) was
a virtualization feature.  It doesn't feel like it's doing much, but
let's until for a few more days.

Oh well... it was worth a try. =/

Ahh got it! Yes, that makes much more sense. I wrote a script that
plugs into my email program that enables me to download any link in an
email and get the download as an email itself. It's great! I get an
email with a link to an article, then I do not need to leave my email
program. I just highlight the link, press a button, and a minute later
the article comes in text only mode, as an email. Pure bliss! =D

Wow. :)  What is this e-mail client again?

Alpine. Check it out here: alpineapp.email. Eduardo, the current maintainer is
active from time to time on the usenet group for alpine, and gives great help!
It's written in C, compiles very easily (at least for me), and is quite
"hackable". =)
