Yeah, but moving Gerry via Vanagon....Who would you turn to if you were out
on the road, packing the whole List in your vanagon, and the dang thing had
problems?  I mean, one of the most valuable tools I pack along on long road
trips is my laptop so I can get list help if I encounter any mechanical
problems.
  You couldn't just look over your shoulder and go..."Hey Gerry, my
alternator light just came on, any idea what's causing that?"  Nor could you
pry open a server case and look in the Archives, right?
