    Now I'm sure: Men are computers! :-D 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. Wow, binary brains :-D In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. Need a backup drive, or more memory? I'll look for a "guys upgrades "-shop. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. No multi tasking... let's fix that by installing a new OS. Where's that "guys upgrade"-store? ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings 16 colors are not too bad, it's better than seeing everything in black and white. Anyway I'll get you a pair of RGB-eyes from the "guys upgrades"-shop. I am in shape. Round is a shape. Vector graphics are great, are you SVG compatible? After installing more memory you'll be able to have a more complex shape than just round. And you'll be capable of multi tasking. Does anybody know what is the latest version of GuyOS ?

      Shotgun formation is a football term, American football. Refers to the positioning of the offensive players at the start of a play. (Not an American but filling in for the morning).:)

Specifically the shotgun formation is when the quarterback lines up a couple yards (meters) behind the center (the man who leans over, grips the ball at the beginning of a play and on a signal gives it to the quarterback). In a "regular" non-shotgun formation the quarterback would line up directly behind the center. "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky.

        >You'll notice that the original post uses American spellings Alas. I am reading The Hours by Michael Cunningham and while he, the author, is American part of the story is about the day in the life of Virginia Woolf. To my horror they used the American spelling of colour in one of her conversations. That just bugged me. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?

        Whiner... When I chat with Americans I use the correct spelling of color, but when I converse with you I corrupt it deliberately, knowing your perverse fixation.;P Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

          Referring to number 1, what is the "shotgun formation"? I know of the gun and what it means to shotgun a beer, but a formation? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?

More likely, the original was probably "configuration" - barrel length, choke type, etc. [EDIT] The football reference is a new one to me, but I've never watched a football game on purpose in my life, and hope never to.:zzz: [/EDIT] Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

            Upgrading guys is a difficult task; most women find it impossible. A better strategy is to visit Victoria's Secret and pick up something nice for yourself. Then you will be deluged with offers to replace your obsolete guy with a new, more versatile model. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

                        you know, when I read something from a British author I don't go through looking for spelling that might differ from the American way. I simply don't care. The question is, why do you care? It never ceases to amaze me how much people who don't live in the US get so worked up about whether something is their own culture or not. If I'm reading a British or Austrailian work, then I fully expect it to be true to their culture and spellings. There is nothing 'wrong' with that, it's just the way it is.

                          Yes, exactly, and there in The Hours is Virginia Woolf, quite British, writing "color" and not "colour". Exactly what you said. Ten bucks says Mr. Cunningham, the American author, wrote it as colour originally (because he obviously respects Miss. Woolf's work) but that the publisher changed it to "fit in" with the target market better. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?
