Hi Terry,

I like scary <:-o (My attempt at The Scream by Edvard Munch)

I once sent UT my picture, but it never appeared, perhaps it frightened the horses.

A many years ago, when I was young and charming, as some of you may know, I wrote code on embalming.

(Electrical engineering actually but it doesn't rhyme. Apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan)

Compiled on my machine it ran nicely for many a year on about 100 machines throughout the company. A new day dawned. It failed to run on the newly installed PCs, with big disks, new fangled CDROM drives and headphones for Music While You Work. (You have to be British and as old as me to understand this last reference).

My PC had a hard drive D:.
The new PCs had a CDROM drive D:.
My FP code resided on F:
When built/compiled, the app included references to D:.
I know, I looked in the PJX and it was all over the place.
Drive D: was never used by the app, but the references still appeared.
Running on the new PCs the app started by checking its fingers and toes.
I had written no code for this, it just did it,... thanks MS.
Without a CD in the drive D: was not there and the app fell over.
Quick fix - bung in a CD, the music CDs seemed to work just as well a data disk, but Puccini was my favourite.

I can do eccentric as well as scary :-)

Alan
