 It is my opinion that anyone who connects themselves to Microsoft on
a permanent basis for daily upgrades needs a psychiatrist more than an
engineer. If I had to make a list of organisation I trusted, I'd put
Telstra, Centrelink and the Tax Office 1,000 places ahead of M$, and I
don't trust any of those at all!

 Have you thought of tellign the Pope? He might consider beatifying
you. St Rod has a nice ring to it... St Rod the Raving Ratbag.
