Hi Folks, just thought I'd drop this note. The other day a trojan (sub 7) entered through my e-mail as a result my dial up program was distroyed. I'm no longer online & it'll be a while before I can find my way through this upgrade & reconfigure & reestablish & all those other things that I don't have a clue about. I still can drop in from work so you can't rid yourselfs of me all together. See some of you soon at NEFFA. Barry

Hope you're back on line soon, Barry. We need your educated answers (to questions like, "What kind of shanty do you sing as you heave your PC overboard to use it as a boat anchor?")

Sort of a computer-pox, I suppose, Have you tried mercury?

Isn't a trojan some kind of a condom? What have you been up to Barry?

Jeri - you head on over and fix that boy's computer and sing a few wongs with him, willya? We can't afford to lose Barry. He's a valuable resource around here - and a darn nice guy, too.
His dog can't sing worth a damn, though. Barry sent me a tape of his particular version of Haul on the Bowline - his dog joined in at the end of the recording. I've been tempted to send it in to Mudcat radio for broadcast....

Should we start a thread called "What are folk wongs?" and see what happens?

McGrath,

Have a bit of caution here. If you start a thread about folk wongs then before you know it thread-creep will have snuck in and we'll be talking about folk wights: copywight, women's wights, Isle of Wight, and saying Wight-On, Brothers & Sisters, etc etc.

Do you want the responsibility of starting this avalanche of punning??

Oh dear, I shouldn't have re-read this.

Thanks all for the nice words, I'm at my local library at the moment. My computer's says it's blameless (brainless if you ask me, damn thing's sicker than I am) so I'm taking on all spineless hackers & feeding 'em to the fishes, after they've been gutted. See you soon. LOL, Barry
