Edit the UID to be zero, it complains but does it anyway. Log out and log back in as user, you are now root privileged. thanx, bill America, Love it or give it back questions, help?

Spent 4 hours configuring xwsh to auto pop with the fonts and colors I need for my tired eyes. Why the fuck dont they just have an .Xdefaults in your home instead of .chestrc I dont know, but it does what I need it to do, get rid of hummingbird disease on Intel so I dont go blind. The machine is just a fancy terminal to a couple of HPUX machines I dink with. thanx, Bill America, Love it or give it back questions, help?
