Hmm... somehow I doubt that there's one with new printers. Besides, I
almost never print anything as it is. I haven't even used *my* printer for
several years.

Please ignore the quotes for not being exact (nor spelled correctly),
someone (you know who you are) never did let me borrow the VCDs <g>. Ah,
it's ok Lars, I'll survive on my VHS tapes.
A Jawa sandcrawler pulls up outside a house destroying the road with it's
weight as it comes. The Jawas are for some unknown reason getting the
droids into the nearest house. One of it's inhabitants moves closer to the
small cloth covered beings and their droids. He stops infront of one of the
droids.
Bernie: "I guess you are programmed for protocol and etiquette?"
C3PO: "Well, it's my primary function Sir"
Bernie: "I have no need for that here"
C3PO: "Of course Sir, not in a place like this"
Bernie: "What do you mean?"
C3PO: "Well it's so messy" (it actually isn't, right now)
Bernie looks angry.
C3PO: "Oh my!"
Bernie: "I need a droid that can speak with a Star ML-10" (may not be the
correct model number)
C3PO: "My first job was programming binary load lifters, not too diffrent
from the Star ML-10 droids"
Bernie's right hand comes up against his head where he rubs his temples,
and he looks tired. He turns to the Jawas trying to tell them to go away.
C3PO: "Was it something I said?"
And if anyone wonders, C3PO was (according to the book The Phantom Menace)
created to know everything about all sorts of droids.

It is? Hmm... can't come up with a german word with it right now anyway...
you may be right. "Ich bin ausländer und spricht nicht gut Deutch". But
that doesn't matter they still have special characters such as the double s
(I have no idea what it's called in english) and ü as well.

Hmm... I doubt I'll get around to it soon (as I've stated earlier static JS
is easy, dynamic is harder - but it can of course be done if time permits,
and if Michael permits it <g>).
On my current mousepad there's something called "Disney Blast Sverige", and
a Tele2 logo. It's not Arachne friendly (almost made me quit this ISP since
I assume I pay some sort of fee for this "feature").

I also got it on the first attempt today :) But the diffrence is probably
because I'm making a local call and so are you too, but we don't live in
the same city.
