[Novalug] This one upset me

[Charles M Howe]

FWIW: I am trying to get an installfest, or more than one, in an
Alexandria high school. (There are four: TC Williams, which is the
public school; Bishop Ireton; St Stephens; and EHS (Episcopal HS),
famous, or maybe infamous, for harboring John McCain. So far no luck,
but it is early in the game. Expect to hear more from me on this topic.

Yeah, it's both funny and sad. Maybe there should be an installfest --
Helios on PlayStation III, isn't it. Invite the guy -- and his
principal!
