Except in Switzerland. Bloody things there are accurate to the second. The
trains, as well as the watches.
Meanwhile, remaining vaguely on topic for the thread if not the list, I was
delighted to discover on the BT stand (OK, 'Talk Zone') at the Dome on London a
couple of weeks ago a large collection of touch-screen thingies for sending
email. The first one featured the Win95 "This module has executed an illegal
instruction" dialog, citing a module that wasn't MS's fault. Unfortunately, all
attempts at getting it to go away produced one of those error dialogs the VxD
layer produces. Now, how do you give a touch screen a 3 fingered salute?
OTOH, the 3D scanner they have there - get a Quake skin of yourself - is kinda
fun.
