I'd stick to Kerplunk
Just heard of someone who was fined £50 for putting theur feet on the seats on a Merseyrail train.
Fifty? Jeez! A speeding ticket doesn't cost much more than that and in that instance it's because lives are in danger not upholstery. The punishment in no-way fits the 'crime'.

I'm surprised there's any blood left in your heart it bleeds that much! The slovenly tyke got off light, people have to sit on those seats.
I feel the same about PCs Ben as you do about Macs - I just ache in frustration at how painful it seems to do anything. I've been using Macs for 22 years now but I've never had one of my own. Knowing how expensive they can be I fear for the day that I leave this job and may have to make the switch...

Do you spend your spare time writing angry letters to local newspapers, Chip, about the downfall of standards?
