While this is not supposed to be a place for politicals, I can't 
resist an opportunity like this.

Frankly that isn't going to happen until Grey Davis and his NIMBY 
attitude has been retired for long enough that his successor has 
tried to fix it, I'd say about a year to get competively priced 
power coming back into CA which will raise your bill by at least 5 
cents a kwh, and 10 years to build enough of your own.  By then 
you'll be up with the real world in costs and availabilty.  
Legislating cheap power doesn't make it available, a fact Mr. Davis 
seems to have slept thru in economics class.

Californians should convince Jesse Ventura from Minn to move out 
there and run.

On that same subject, somehow our local power has been sold to out 
of state conglomerates and I'm finding a big ups is a requirement 
the last few years.  They keep fireing the field help that do 
maintainance.  It took them 3 years to replace the blown lightning 
arrestors on the substation pole for WDTV on Fisher Mtn.

And to get back on the lists topic, I've made iscan-1.4.0 run from 
xsane and gimp again by moving all the correct data from 
/etc/sane.d to /usr/local/etc/sane.d.  &^%$ RedHat!
