I think I have this figured out. A simple clash of personalities.

-- 1. Me (a.k.a. Skye, Duck Brain or things more unmentionable): The
systems guy. Just give people the tools they need when they need them
so the maximum amount of work gets done. Noticeable lack of patience.

-- 2. Ray of Light: The science teacher. Try it out so you can see
what it does. Lab experiments sometimes result in intriguing failure
modes.

-- 3. Mr. Levine-It-All: Seeker of self awareness. Go forth and seek,
young grasshopper, and maybe eventually you'll find what you're looking
for.

-- 4. Download Gary: The father figure. Writer of Download! so he can
help others.

-- 5. Foxey: Okay, no, I don't have Foxey figured out yet. He sure
does like to grade my actions though.

So we have:

Let's try this again. Systems guy (1) takes advice (4) plus
push-off-the-cliff (3) and thinks "Aha! There's a Mozilla \contrib\
directory!" so drills down through the Mozilla FTP site to
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/contrib/ where he finds
BeOS, Palm, something called Anya but no OS/2 whatsoever, leading to
frustration with lab experiment (2) and expectation of failing grade
from (5).

Ray, *you* assigned this project. Where is the mozilla flask with the
missing oxygenated di-sulfur (OS2)?
