BranShea, I think you meant to attribute the quotation in your entry to Dale, not me.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

And I believe it's Dale who needs to be watered so he can stay at his computer -- not the flowers.

Yeh, the modest little zm:lettering; I must have overlooked it.How could I? May I dedicate this clarifying quote to you now?

Bran: Not my flowers I water but me

Anna: It's possible to water oneself at the keyboard and thus there's time for both pleasant pasttimes

Tuesday is especially jolly when I allow myself three brews, no doubt accounting in some cases for the persiflage

Speak of the Devil. I never had any trouble with this board being slow. But now it fails doing what I had in mind. I drew a nice red keyboard-typo dahlia to send to ZM , as Dale does not give his attention undevided to his flowers 4 times a week. But I get what this thread was about to begin with. Run out pages and obstructions to move to the next page. * (sorry, tiny symbolic flower then.)

Draw peonies instead. If you take care of the peolies the dahlias take care of themselves.

Nah, I think I'll try the peolies first.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet, not Bill Gates.



Several years ago (during the big Technology boom) I worked for a huge telecommunications company. We built and sold the equipment that carries all the Internet traffic. {Cisco claimed to carry 95% of all Internet traffic. In reality, if the Internet is viewed as a superhighway, Cisco has many of the toll booths. We built the 8 lane highway and rest stops}
Being involved in the technical aspects of all this brought me to an important realization.

Al Gore has been reputed as trying to accept credit for INVENTING THE INTERNET. And, I think it is true. If you consider the equipment that carries Internet traffic (the core of the Internet; the equipment with which I worked) governs and controls Internet packets via complex
Mathematical Al-Gore-Rythms

Proof positive!

{As I am new here, please, please, please forgive the bad pun. I am particularly proud of that one because it is original}

Geez, PT, it's not original! Independent discovery on your part, maybe.

Either a case of great minds etc. or the infinite number of monkeys etc.
