So Mormons are even more batshit crazy than some religions and less than others. I prefer the Richard Dawkins line. A racket that became a religion. http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/935
The strange thing is that TomTom has sent me down a ski slope and over a closed mountain pass, even with all mod cons (live) switched on and on a pretty modern 940. But no date info saved! That's worse than a forest trail!
I received an MSN message from a friend inviting me to see who had banned me from their MSN listing. I only had to log on to the site (http://www.get-messenger.com/) and give them my MSN name and password (also for Passport!) My friend and apparently many others had done so. How do we close down crooks like this?
Nico is a common Dutch first name, and I can see a couple of Dutch names on the Nico list... I bert there are many people in Holland who use Nico as their password (father, dog whatever...)

I am also intruiged as to whether Microsoft would manage to get a patent on something that is called "AppLens". I get the feeling that Steve Jobs might object!:)
The trouble is that business people tend to use credit cards, and that something that Skype is not very good at. Another thing they are not very good at is allowing is his people to avoid paying VAT tax on phone calls. Seeing I'm in Holland and can deduct local VAT, I'm hardly inclined to pay Luxemburg VAT. But the main problem remains that anyone using a Visa and anyone in Spain, to mention but a few, can't pay for their SkypeOut... and just to confuse people, sometimes they can and sometimes they can't, using the same card. All very weird. Rgds Martin
Sure Holland's a country - although some Dutch would like to see all us foreigners get our tongues round "The Netherlands". In Dutch, Holland technically refers only to two of its provinces, but this ain't Dutch... However - to the point - I can't see why the ad should be banned. After all, who would be using the latest ADM processors on machines running XP without installing SP2? It sounds a bit silly to me. But all publicity is good publicity! Rgds Martin
I was wondering how long it would be before someone commented that - oindeed - this has been around for years. I have two... but the kids have lost one pen:( Rgds Martin
... Abiword is useless. I have tried various versions from the very beginning right up to the latest incarnation, but all of them have not even reached alpha status. The program is so buggy that it's more likely to save you a file full of question marks than the actual text. And if you actually report about, then starting about two years later you will receive regular messages informing you abide either has or has not been fixed. Whichever way, it hasn't. So it's hardly likely one could take this survey seriously. If you compare Atlantis or Open Office to Word, okay, but not Abiword...

Right! And Greenpeace wants us to use wind and solar which are also dirtier and more lethal than nuclear!

Why "gifts" as verb instead of "gives"?

Palm Desktop works without a Palm and is a great calendar/todo ap. Much sleaker and faster than Outlook. And it's free (I think ;-).
