    It's unfortunate that all the rest of mankind live blissfully that all things begin with at least one of whatever but in Commuter Science zero is more than a viable quantity. Still tripping up the unchurhed too btw. ;-)

    In commuting zero is the standard: - probability of finding a seat on a train - probability of the train not being delayed - probability of the train not stopping for several minutes in the middle of nothing and nowhere without explanations (possibly alien abductions :D) - probability of not encountering both a Niki Lauda emule and an elder-with-the-hat driving in your direction. The first one endangering everyone with nasty overtakes, the second one creating kilometers of queue by his own forces.

      How could you say this in front of a happy, satisfied Oracle client like me :( Accept you condolences though. :laugh:

        I even refuse to install the client software in my pc. On the occasions I have to talk to oracle from .net I just use one oracle dll to do it all for me. Saves Gb of space and all that oracle pollution. :laugh: And now that I've mention that name three times, I now owe them untold $$$$$$$$$$$$$:mad:

                      zero is more than nothing since 100000000000000000 + -100000000000000000 = 0, therefore your thank is not enough!
