I got this in a newsletter and it reminded me of a few people I know......! Must have been the instructions : Back when floppy disks were the only portable medium (good old 5 1/4 and 3.5 inch disks hold not much more than a mere 360K), I was working as a field engineer for a third-party support firm. Remembering two calls always brings a smile to my face. Caller #1: A guy rings up and says that he has just received his new update on four 3.5 inch floppy disks and he followed the instructions supplied with the update to the letter. He had a problem with the machine reading the second disk, just would not accept it. After a few probing questions, a site visit was required, so I attended the next day and was amazed by what I saw. Yes, the guy obviously had a problem reading the second disk after following the installation instructions: 1. Insert disk 1. 2. Run setup, click OK when asked. 3. When asked, insert disk 2. What I found was that he had not removed the first disk and had actually...

It's not too early, I think. I saw some Easter eggs on sale the other day...! Plus a bit of music....Happy Christmas to ya'! Je ne crois pas que c'est trop tôt - les fêtes de Noël ont déjà commencée - donc...! Et un peu de la musique vous donnera d'envie -peut être...!

Blogger is on strike, won't let me put the pictures I want onto the article which follows, so I have to do it this way..! It's all in a good cause - "SINTAKLAAS" - or something similar! But even so, can YOU tell the difference between these two handsome guys'? Be honest - OK - maybe the first one (above) is more "proportioned" (it took me ages to get my photo editor to stretch me) but basically they are both the same - always looking for new things, and always swanning around on their own, at night - in kinky vehicles! And - if you don't beleive in us, hard luck, see what your daughter may wish for you - underneath...! AND - SERVES YOU RIGHT...! Anyway - have a nice one....!

Okay - I wanted something about this guy - "Sinterklaas", but I had to find it so EVERYBODY could understand it....! Somehow or other, not everybody speaks Dutch, single or double! So - all right, it's American (I think) - but after all, New York started off life as "New Amsterdam" - didn't it...! Anyway, I wish everybody, all over the place "Happy St Nicholas" - whenever you celebrate it! http://www.thehollandring.com/sinterklaas.shtml (just click on the title or copy/paste to your address bar)

"See Venise - and die" - drowned probably...! Just a few drops more in the City - yesterday!

When is it...? I can never remember, but I bet there's a lot of kids and adults in the country of and and of course, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN......who could tell you when to say "Happy Niklaas...!" I can't remember - so I'll say it now! Maybe they'll go on that long ice skating trips of the Canals, or maybe they'll keep their firmly on the ground! Anyway 5th/6th/7th/8th Decembre-whenever - hope they all have a nice time! I wonder what they eat on special days like that - surely not cheese....!?
