Oh nothing.  He just phoned up to wash his head at us.
Has that satisfied you?
Will you please tell us where you are?
I'm in the car park.
In the _car_ park? What are you doing there?
Parking cars, what else does one do in...




I'm sure that those that want to program, do.  And those that don't, 
don't.



Well, at least that is where the QL at 21 is still OK ... it is still 
fun to program, and people even know how.

Hi

I am trying to get uqlx for macos x to work but all I get is: Bus error
I have X started and it is running on 10.4.


No doubt Phoebus will pop up with an answer ...



Cannot :-) I did not do the port myself, James Weatherly did. I will  
contact him and ask him :-)


BTW: I am back from Greece. I have a humongous backlog of emails etc, so  
if I owe anyone an answer etc, please email me again, so I can reply  
faster :-)

I have those too - there is a lot in there that was cut out of the
actual broadcasts.
... and the notes after each show are very revealing
