[]'s I'm not sure, but I think the pun is in reading the 'M' as 'meter' ('metre'). 3 football fields - assuming American football - is 300 yards, i.e. about 273 meter/metre. So did this this Dutchie get the American pun or not!? :-) |

Imagine what the scammers will do with that. "Hello, this is M$ Support. Mr. John Doe, Date of birth xxx, social security number xxx, credit card number xxx, address xxx, Win X serial number xxx, (or whatever leaked) we have detected malware on your computer. Please open a remote desktop session so we can correct the problem". Hope the leak made the headlines non-tech people read. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |

And yes, it's the sort of reserved response that is used to not distract the other golfers on the course. In this case, I meant "Well done, man." Respectful and reserved is the thing I was going for. Not enough of it these days. -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten |
