 JM> You liked it too ?? !!
 JM> Play it on a RAMDRIVE...
 
 DM> You forgot to tell me which key :)

 JM> Ho ho,  musicaly oriented ??

        Naa... I couldn't carry a tune in a basket.  It's more like
        "pun oriented."


 JM> Ha ha !! I guess I know why you teased me like that !!  |-))
 JM> Should I have said:  "RUN it on a ramdrive ??"
 JM> You know ( or maybe not ), in french, a computer game, we PLAY it...
 JM> I mean, we use the same word as ... let's say ... baseball.
 JM> Don't you say: To play a baseball game ?
 JM> And "normaly", you do not say:  To play a computer game...??
 JM> ... you run it ... ?

        Your English was flawless.  If English were a batch
        language, your scripting would have executed flawlessly and
        exited with an errorlevel for warmth.

        (Just trying to stay on topic here...)


 JM> For us, in Quebec, it's "normal" to say:
 JM> "Je joue au baseball, et je joue une simulation d'ordinateur"...
 JM> I  play at baseball, and I play  a  simulation on computer...
 JM> I wrote it word by word, up there...   |-)

        Lo siento mucho, je ne parles pas der Deutch, b'wana.

        (I'm equally ignorant in most languages...)

        I'd love to get you hooked up to a small network I run just
        for friendly chat (about a hundred boards).  Can you do
        email through the Internet or is it prohibitibly expensive
        to call Guelph, Ontario from there?
