    As some of you may know, I have a bewildering number of disabilities, some of which affect my motor function. Last night I lost power in my hand whilst holding a full cup of green tea. Unfortunately my hand was by the side of my desk, and the tea went all over my Codeproject mouse mat with a big green Bob on it. Almost directly below this mouse mat was the power strip that powers my router, my hub and my two PCs. I expected a bang and a small fire, but no! Bob soaked up virtually all of the tea, and by this morning everything was dry again (apart from a strained clicking from the mouse button) and working fine. The only problem is Bob is looking a bit greyer than he did yesterday:) I think we need to give Bob some kind of medal:-D

I saw the movie Eurotrip the other night (totally mindless movie, but funny in some parts), and in it there was a video of David Hasselhoff, singing in very poor German... I had gotten out of the catatonic state which that sequence put me in, and here you are making me fall right back in it. :sigh: :-D -- Booohoo!

              Be careful, Bob gets jittery after too much caffiene. :-D But green tea is probably OK, if it were :java: you'd be in trouble. "Fish and guests stink in three days." - Benjamin Franlkin
