:-) The FTP/rsync server is in the Netherlands, Bram used to live in the Netherlands and now has a job in Switzerland, I'm in Belgium... Here in Continental Europe, Hallowe'en is a rather new importation, brought from the States by the marketing departments of toy stores and such; it isn't a deep ingrained tradition. We have All Saint's Day (1st November), and the Day of the Dead (2nd November), but they are "traditionally" used for an annual visit to the cemeteries (call it a lingering "cult of the ancestors" if you will), and for Catholics maybe a Midnight Mass, but nothing spooky or magic about that. The traditional day for pranks is April Fools' Day. Best regards, Tony. -- Fortune's Real-Life Courtroom Quote #52: Q: What is your name? A: Ernestine McDowell. Q: And what is your marital status?
