                At one company I worked at the technical directory formed a 'break away' software company, to provide code for the parent company, and took some of us software guys with him. It was to be based in Tamworth, England. I suggested calling it Software House In Tamworth, for some reaso he did not like the name!

                                          One of the contractors I worked with in the UK had the company name "Kittensoft" which is also the name of a leading brand of toilet paper. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd
