My father used to use the term "brand spanking new", and I could not understand why something new might be getting a spanking.

That is a revelation to me, also.
I had assumed it was so new, the brilliance would "spank" your eyes.
Sound silly? Oh well.

It's still on my Profile inder Occupation: Conceptual Detective and Free Lance Fool OK, that makes sense. And because you've helped me in the Past: And at the risk of being a "computer fool" I'll take a leap. How do you get info into that Profile ? I've tried everything on that page to enter "location" under my Robin Avatar. I would appreciate a ballpark hint: please remember I am a computer neophyte.
