Awesome. _Now_ I get it! Of course, it's very big of you to take the time to point out the deficiencies (real or imagined) of public school graduates. Let's see if we can spot any other deficiencies while we're at it: >Now aren't you happy that your new Mac is using 25 year old PC floppy >technology at long last? Hmmmm. I was always led to understand that a hyphen is used to join two or more words acting as a single unit before a noun. If that is indeed the case, "25-year-old" might work better in the above sentence. Your math skills may, perhaps, be offset by a deficiency in English skills. Did your parents keep the receipts when they paid your (presumably private school) tuition? Admittedly, the above is just a guess. I'm afraid my own writing might well betray the fact that I was never able to attend school at all. According to my parents, the workhouse was *my* only option. @_@ Anyway, I'm just trying to help! After all, supplying our mutual deficiencies is what this board is all about. Cheers, James Fraser -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
