Hey Bergalia - good to have you back - read some of the dialogue between Walrus and myself and you will see we were talking about your absence, obviously not missing you in any way but just noting that you were not about.
(Actually, missed your imput and dry wit but dont tell anyone).

Right, enough of that, back to fighting......................

Well, the earth was about to swing out of it's orbit around the sun due to your abscence, but fortunately I stepped in....

We noticed and were refreshed as the breeze freshened and then you ruined it by waking us up.

Your final quotation sums it up precisely...'What lies within us...'
Don't get me wrong - I'm a confirmed Mac man... it's just that living out in the 'Bush' Mac engineers are very few and far between and the nearest one is about four hours travel to the great metropolis of Canberra. Having arrived there they reckoned on a four to six week delay in getting new parts, (internal modem) service time etc etc etc...And apart from that they'd been flooded with e-mails from some character in S.Africa offering them bribes not to fix it....

didn't the Earth always orbit the Sun - so that's why I keep getting lost!

Would this 'Mac' have anything to do with a 'scottish restaurant'?

Only in the sense that they're both made in "Yankee country" - of which you are now any honorary citizen remember.
