(An old joke from the Number Crunching forum...before the servers were moved to the colo, somebody would comment about the Cricket graphs being so smooth that a duck could swim on them. A picture of a rubber duck was posted, and sure enough it seemed like not too long afterwards, something would go asunder....) I believe it was Richard Haselgrove who was the keeper of the duck in question. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 1556248 ·

Ummm - feel free to discuss the word 'not'. I've got to go out and fix somebody's computer this afternoon. I'll see if I come across anything funny on the way (apart from the roadworks on every road out of the village...), but I may have to invoke rule 6. I'm glad you liked it, anyway, Julie :) ID: 1556677 ·
