| Dunno if its just me, Jim, but viewing this page comes up with a File Save As dialog box wanting to save "HomeComputer.jpg" - the IMG tag has an FTP: in it, rather than HTTP: - dunno if that's the reason?Kristen |

| no problem using the latest Firefox. That thing looks more current than some of the boxes I having laying around here. I especially like the steering wheel thingy. Next time I get a "why is this slow" email, I might send them this jpg.Sean RoussyPlease backup all of your databases including master, msdb and model on a regular basis.

I'd seen it before. One of my cow-orkers is a magnet for this sort of thing: "Hey, look at this really amazing fighter plane someone emailed me a picture of!""Yes, very nice, Justin, but to my knowledge the switchblade design hasn't made beyond the patent application*, and if it has**, they probably wouldn't build the prototype out of plywood and put an actress in the cockpit and stick it on an aircraft carrier."That sort of thing.* US Patent 5984231** conspiracy theorists sign up here! |
