I was there when the World's Greatest Treasurer was running the
country. I've suddenly forgotten his name. But I do think he was
better than Mr Howard. At least WGT new what recalcitrant meant.
But Australia has the ABC, which is as good as the BBC, if not as
omnipresent. I can't pick it up here on my short wave, or I would
listen to it. What does the Man In Black say about the bombing?
Does anybody know if there is a RealAudio for linux? Preferably an
RPM? Or something better than RealAudio for linux?
