      You see I sign in a shop window that says, "Give me your chocolate and no one gets hurt!" and you think to yourself, "I better tell Megan about that."

            I still never managed to get a copy of MSDN to see that - hopefully the advert will be in January's issue (free)

                          Yes, I know what you mean. I talk about people on CP as people that I know, and sometimes people say 'I don't think I've met him', and I say 'He's in the US', or 'He's in India'. Then they look at me funny.

                                  Hmmm, Ok It's just I'd always seen it written as the Maunder Minimum and never as an "effect". Although there are other effects that make use of the Maunder Minimum. BTW: If it is correct, it makes some of the global warming stuff look like nonsense. Regardz Colin J Davies
