well, there were several reasons b'hind my mail..
1) technical: the words selected sud be as small as possible so that the
menu pads don't
appear too large
2) emotional: we issue "commands" to a computer/program not
vice-versa...and god only knows how the computers treat us...its high time
we get back at 'em...<g>
3) Lastly, the silence was deafening, I just wanted to kick start the
list...;)...welcome abroad!
