on the way back from taking the kids to Santa's Ranch
in San Marcos I was thinking about this.... It doesnt
actually seem like a bad idea.. I do have about 2
xterms open all the time but my browser (firefox) is
open also.. I havent checked to see if I can make it
partially transparent to read whats goin on in the
back (xterms).  dunno why I thought about this but it
sounds like it may actually be useful.
