.. One fine day, Bob waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Bob,

 DM> Would have been cheaper too :-). For me it is a toll call to
 DM> Brenton, even with the same Sydney area code.

 BL> Bloody robbers! A toll call! With Brenton, my only cost is a cup of
 BL> coffee and a vegemite sandwich.

 Ahh, but then again, my calls to Penrith are cheaper than yours. 
 I don't even get any of the STD pips.
 
 DM> That is truly brilliant. I am impressed, esp with one of your
 DM> advanced years, throwing yourself whole-heartly into a
 DM> completely new discipline, and making it *user* friendly.

 BL> You cheeky young bastard. I'll have you know that I have mind like a
 BL> steel... er, um... the word is right on the tip of my... er, um...
 
 It was a compliment, you fool :-|

 DM> Making it idiot-proof is 90% sweat and 10% luck.

 BL> My programs have to be to idiot-proof to work at all. I work on 90%
 BL> blind luck, no sweat, and no worries...
 
 What's worse is when the compiler throws out an example that's 
 in the book. Symantic won't even let delay() through without 
 barfing. It's a fucking joke. No wonder Brenton is loosing his 
 hair :-)

 DM> You have to think like a fuckwit...

 BL> The secret of my success!
 
 No have to about it, is there ? I rest my case.

 DM> , but concurrently be smart enough to write the trap code.

 BL> What trap code?
 
 DM> No wonder programmers go schizoid.

 BL> I am fully qualified.

 Aye.
 
 Dieter
