    mmm, yes. "Mound" just didn't feel right. But for some reason "minded" doesn't feel right either (but not as much as "mound") :) -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

    That's because you wouldn't say "i would not have minded" in a normal conversation... You'd say "i wouldna minded". :^)

      Mmm, yes. Colloquial English, now there's a challenge. It's not very hard to pick up phrases here and there. The big problem is to apply it at the right time, with the right tone of voice, otherwise it sounds just wrong. But I suppose that's the case with any non-native language. Hey, I just discovered a little bug in the CPHog script. For some reason, quick modify doesn't work for me. It says the modifications were sent, but when I refresh, no modifications were done. -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

                    In fact, I had the same problem a couple of days back. I *did* refresh, but it still wasn't there. I finally had to use the regular modify feature and do it the old way. Cheers, Vikram.

                      That's so mean! How can people be so inconsiderate? Rental stores should have their own DVD re-winders instead of asking poor customers to do the rewinding on their own. Don't go there again, Chris - they are nasty folks!

                          You have to spin it backwards in the DVD player...should be a button on your remote for it.

                                  I had that same thought a couple of years ago when we made the switch to DVD. But I soon realized that underneath was a little chip that would cause the alarms to go off if someone tried to walk out the store without paying.
