... an aphorism of George Bernard Shaw: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."

[richyrich]

Hah !

@npap, take a look at the new Most Users Online stat at the bottom of the forum's Index page . . notice the date ?

(and in my timezone, it happened at 11:27 . . close)

ps; it's easy for me to predict that the MUO record won't last long, should we start a pool ?

[npap]

I agree with the pool idea Richyrich,

I'm afraid we're in the wrong place here.
Perhaps we should move to the Mint Cafe for a further discussion on the subject.

Cheers,
npap

Look at me, see if I am poor, or my people either. The whites may get me at last, as you say, but I will have good times till then. You are fools to make yourselves slaves to a piece of fat bacon, some hard-tack, and a little sugar and coffee.

Douglas Adams [1995] [writer of hitch-hikes guide to the galaxy ]

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he, by peddling second rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.

Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.
