I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. -- (Terry Pratchett) Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb -- they're often students, for heaven's sake. -- (Terry Pratchett) I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it. -- (Terry Pratchett) We've missed you, did you miss us? Yes, but I think I have time to reload. -- (Terry Pratchett)

I have had a blast playing MWiF today and I'm happy! It's time for dinner, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and I'm having a "computer beer". Some DOS beer. Funny though, it equates DOS to some O/S I've never heard of, "UIS". That is, I'm having a DOS .EQ. UIS (or DOS EQUIS) Hey, what do you expect from an old FORTRAN programmer. [:D]

I can remember my dad saying that they all looked like a bunch of hippies and needed haircuts. To me now, they look like four clean cut young boys. Didn't Davy Jones pass recently?
