Yeah, I know. I was merely attempting to add to the irony. Although I do
wonder how long it will before you can do just that???
BTW Jack, my thoughts are with you. Back in '95 (before some punk in a car
hit me from behind doing around 120k/hr) I did a similar ride, from Port
Macquarie to Sydney - about 900kms in aid of MS. It pee'd with rain most of
the time for that ride too. Truly hope the weather clears for your ride.

I guess I'm a bit luckier, because I now have 3 machines at home, plus my
work ThinkPad. Naturally, all experimentation takes place on that one <g>
so if it stuffs the whole thing up IBM's techo's can sort it out.
