That is what I do too Richard. Nothing else seems to work
better. ;-)

Unplugging it at the wall socket is much quicker! ;-)

The CD/DVD writer on the laptop of a friend of mine had gone
kaput. So I found him a stand-alone CD writer from a SH shop
for $2. Told him about it. He went and bought it. I used that
to install his program on his laptop. All well and good. But
next time he wanted to use it, he managed to plug his laptop
into the mains and then managed to install the mains cable
for the CD player into the computer as well (rather than into
the CD player!) -- right into the video output of the laptop!

You guys have some strange connector configurations over
there. On my side of the pond I don't think there's a power
cable that would mate up with a video output.

I think here you will find rather strange things mating up some
of the time.

Yes, of course, but we were talking about connectors. ;-)

I thought it was now about goats.

You're way too easily confused.


That is my best trait. I have it as a disclaimer on my resume'.


Confusion is a good. It means that somebody has a learning
opportunity.

Confusion is unlearning.

Just the opposite actually. Well at least if you thought you were making
progress anyway. ;-)

"We have not succeeded in solving all of our problems. In fact, the
solutions we have found have served to raise a whole new set of
questions. In some ways, we are as confused as ever; however, we feel we
are confused on a higher level and about more important things." --
