Fishman, Thought you'd be interested in knowing that by fairly general consensus, we have named the AWAD spell-checker "Enigma."

What, because it translates meaningless gibberish into highly pertinent information?
That's anastrophic to any spell-checker I've ever met before.
Now, strictly speaking spell-checkers are anathema to me (stuck-up spelling bee), but I'm going to click the button and watch Enigma do something wonderful before posting this!
How does it look?

Bingley - Sarah Jane Smith is the telling one! Yes, couldn't agree more.
Jo - ah, but let's not forget Blake's Seven, which came out about the same time as Star Wars but with effects poorer than most episodes of Dr. Who!
And I'm watching a re-run of Thunderbirds at the moment, telling my 3 year old son what's what. And it IS high-tech. Gerry Anderson is The Man for serious-looking harware. Look how long it took Hollywood to catch up in terms of making vehicles look dirty and used. Shame about the puppets, that's all...
Oops a wee bit off-thread there. Neer mind, I'll just change the title.

Thank-you thank-you Bingley. I was racking my brains trying to figure out what show you were talking about. In my youth, ours was mostly a French household so all show titles were translated from the English. There were several in which marionettes were involved. When you mentioned Lady Penelope (Pénélope) I knew you were talking about Les sentinelles de l’air. We (seven kids) never missed an episode. What was the one based in the sea?

Marvelous, tks mav! It IS Stingray. I remember there was always a background song about <Marina>. And I think some reruns are not all that bad. It’s fun, even if they were put together for kitsch value. Or is my age showing there .
