Migratory birds can 'sleep fly' during long flights.

It was bad enough when constant telemarketing / phone fraud calls rendered my land line useless. Then they came for my cell phone. Today I got two of them on my work desk phone.

Working on installing with GPU support on my new Windows box. One of the "fun" parts is making sure you have the right version of all the prerequisites.
