Degrees of separation

In the time it took me to figure out how to mount my thumbdrive on my XO/Ubuntu system, I could have written a five-page paper on the topic of your choice. But, the feeling of accomplishment I now have, as I listen to music off my thumbdrive on these tinny little speakers, is totally worth it.

I wonder....can I plug my iRiver into this thing?

Off to figure out OpenOffice!
