{giggle} In the true spirit of BOFH . It would be nice if people would
report it when they get output that they don't know what it is. But then,
even here in the I.T. department, we have a shared IP printer which many
people use. And some of them print something; go to the printer; remove all
the paper; and then throw away anything that isn't their output.
