Yesterday I went to Fry's and picked up a video capture card, to replace the broken one I got in Weird Stuff last week. Turns out the drivers are in the Linux 2.6 kernel. Just as well; I don't have any PCI-bus machines running Windows 98SE or later, which is what it wants. And I finally have SpamAssassin's Bayesian filter trained up; now I have to propagate the procmail script and
