- Ooops - you are quite right, please forgive me! My only excuse is that
- when I posted I had already packed up my doc and my PCs ready for the
- move. The moral is probably "Don't post stuff from memory when
- surrounded by shipping boxes..". Oh well, at least we're in the new
- building, and nothing [of mine] got lost or broken, and the netwizards
- had everything up and running when I arrived this morning.
