Mav murmured: Should think it was more the contents of your stomach that woud be concerned?
Sorry Mav, close, but no cigar. The macronless Maori word for stomach is puku, not puke.
And speaking of which, has anyone heard from MaxQ lately? Maybe he's gone on a retreat with Father Steve.

Max doesn't post for 24 hours and you're missing him? There's been no word from Shona for a week now. I guess logins will be a bit more sporadic for many over the Christmas/New Year period. I've got three weeks away from my internet connection (a.k.a. my place of employment) before the end of Jan. I'm investigating WRT (word replacement therapy).

He's on a post fast, making up for the marathon of posting he ran the first couple weeks of his membership.

Something like Express Post, is it?
Fine time he chooses, just two posts short of addict status. Doesn't he know he already has a habit?
Can a fish go cold turkey?

There is, however, a Cook Island Maori food called puke, the mere thought of which makes me puke!
My absence is due to a death in my immediate family - my CPU's fan died, and so my poor PC is in limbo, awaiting a transplant. Until then I will be seldom seen. Good point made about Shona, I hope he's back soon. Yours intermittently,
Max

Max, speaking from beyond the grave by ouija board, quavered: My absence is due to a death in my immediate family - my CPU's fan died, and so my poor PC is in limbo, awaiting a transplant.
And you do live in such a remote part of the country. Bound to be next to no fan clubs around in Hastings, hm?
What about growing PCs in embryo to provide timely transplants which match your PC's blood type exactly? Has anybody deciphered the PC genome?

The part in question must be shipped from that unpseakable hellhole north of the Bombays - it's a freebie as the PC is still under warranty. My "ouija board" is the PC of a close friend of mine, the Rarotongan who first introduced me to puke His system runs Windows ME with 128MB of RAM, and it is as slow as my Win98 with only 64. Fortunately, as he's only had it a month, the "gee whizz" factor hasn't worn off yet. I, on th other hand, am salivating at the prospect of jumping from 64MB to 192 in the near future.

Well, you do realise that although ME is supposed to mean "Millenium Edition", it was first coined by MS staff when they realised how slow it ran. What it really stands for is "mialgic encephalytis". Taihape 'flu, in other words. Same thing that most couriers from Jafaland have ...
