    Congratulations! :beer::beer::beer: We're having a slow "troubleshoot some odd stuff on the network" kinda day. Later on I've a contract to proofread, which is always fun. :doh: Mind you, we had a great weekend (Beth's parents came down for a visit, so there was a lot of home cooked food, beer and a significant amount of Wii-ing around in the lounge) so I guess a slow day today is not at all unexpected. :-\

      Ugh. I can't bring myself to use that stuff after seeing their incredibly corny advertising in the 70s.

          Cheers Chris. Must say, I like the site update though it did take me a few seconds to figure out the Lounge link was separate to the others. Makes sense now, easy to fling the cursor at it and click without hitting some other forum.

          cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                  "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

                                    Not yet and not sure she ever will. She doesn't like being on her tummy much. She loves standing though, always wants us to balance her as she totters about. Probably walk before she crawls :)
