    Data stored to an external networked drive and mirrored nightly. Periodically I backup the mirror to a zipdrive I keep at work. If the machine fries any time I'll only need to reinstall the OS and software. PITA to be sure, but not much of one. 10110011001111101010101000001000001101001010001010100000100000101000001000111100010110001011001011

    Children Writing About the Ocean... 1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6) 2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6) 3) - If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (John, age 7) 4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6) 5) - A dolphin breaths through an arsehole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8) 6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6) 7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7) 8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6) 9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6) 10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7) 11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6) 12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky, age 8) 13) - On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass. (Julie, age 7) 14) - The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6) 15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7) No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced. This message is made of fully recyclable Zeros and Ones

    You missed some drunken drivel in the Lounge. Dave trying to enlighten us on his state of mind after an evening carousing down the pub! At least is was short, I suspect he passed out on the keyboard but it may have been that he gave up when he could no longer focus on it. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

    I was sent a Birthday Card many, many moons ago, which featured a Hamster. The image is copyright so I couldn't put it up anywhere and point you guys at it, so I was searching for the company, in case it was on their site. The company was 'The Odd Squad' ...... you can work out the rest. Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

    It all comes down to allowing people to be personally responsible for their decisions. Hard for people of power to do this. The fact is, I'm all for legalizing just about dang near everything, with one condition. I don't have to pay for re-hab. Of course, people will always want their cake and to eat it as well.

    I pulled it from 3.5 to 3.9. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista. "I am new to programming world. I have been learning c# for about past four weeks. I am quite acquainted with the fundamentals of c#. Now I have to work on a project which converts given flat files to XML using the XML serialization method" - SK64 ( but the forums have stuff like this posted every day )
