Those of us who've been married 20+ years know how to work the system.
I wish you would have sought my advice in advance.
When I wanted to get a Jeep I did the following:
1: I bought the wife a new car first.
2: I then let her simmer in guilt for 6 months while I drove a beater.
3: I talked about what I'd get endlessly.
By the time I bought my impractical vehicle she was so relieved that she didn't care what I bought.

Well the deeds not done yet ... though I took a test drive and am still smiling ear to ear.
In my defence I've been driving the same car 7 years, and have:
(a) Offered to drive her 'til she dies
(b) Paid oodles for care and preventative maintenance, much to my wife's chagrin
(c) Took the kids to Disney
I've been told I have to buy a new car, and one that can fit two boosters and a child seat in the back. It can! It just has two less doors than she expects and the fuel economy of a MOAB.

Was that 20+ years continuous or cumulative?

Just saying. Owww, oww, owwwww.

That's easy for you to say.
How did you know that's what the village peacock was just saying outside my window anyway?

Did you get your finger wedged between the keys again?

That wasn't his finger, and it was a usb port, anyway...

Is that what they call those little connectors used to charge phones? That's what I was thinking of, of course, but wasn't sure of the proper terms. Thanks!

 No. I posted this thread about 20 minutes after getting in from my first Krav Maga session. It wasn't the fighting that hurt, it's the exercises they randomly threw in at the end.

a) Your question isn't clear.
b) Isn't dropping one's aiches is a bit lah-di-dah for you Northern chaps, what?
c) Punctuation!

This was the politest way I had of saying I ached just the tiniest bit after my first Krav Maga class last night. The actual fighting was great - the head instructor and myself enjoyed a bit of Muay Thai sparring to demonstrate some things to my other fellow recruits, and it was good to be able to put some of that to use after 20 years.

Just wondering if you have extropolated the expected date of when the 10 Million member signs up - it would also be interesting to know how accurate you are with your prediction when the time cones too.

I'm not sure if we have extrapolated the exact date. But maybe I'll dig around and see if we have an "official date"... then we can start taking bets

If you double click the top or bottom of a window which you have the Up-Down arrow cursor, it snaps to full height, without affecting the width. Nice!
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the sides...ho hum.

That's great and an example of incomplete coding. Reminds me of the Left vs. Right Twix commercial.

If MS made a chocolate bar it would probably have excellent chocolate outside, and a breezeblock in the center... 
Then in version 8 they would replace the chocolate with marmite / vegemite - but make the breezeblock smaller.
