Hi Malcolm, >> Not entirely frazzled the old brain then ( in the heat )... ? ... :-) Not any more than usual I'm afraid - I tend to always be frazzled these days. ;-)
>> I envy you the visit ... Ancient Egypt has always been a favourite >> period of mine. I was never there myself, but I do so enjoy the monuments and such like - most impressive. >> I do a project at school which uses the background research on a tumbler >> style lock that the Ancient Egyptians invented - made from wood - which >> is closely identical to the modern tumbler lock - Yale type lock. I've either seen it or a replica some years back - nothing new under the sun is there? >> A main difference is that they didn't invent the use of the spring >> inside the lock. Who needs a spring when you have gravity? Cheers, Norman. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
