Thank you. I thought that was nicely restrained. Since I'm sure he's
a very nice guy, I'm sure the word(s) which got inserted there
were also very nice. After all, he only used the word "nonsense"
when referring to my knowlege of a situation of which he had no

Yes, I am aware of that, and also encountered and repaired that issue.
But that was not the cause. This is an HP/Compaq, and the
"auto-recovery" is a feature of this machine which goes beyond the
normal WinXP recovery business.

In regards to the other thing, yes.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
