... not according to 'Wikipedia' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thomson%2C_1st_Baron_Kelvin) (which I admit isn't always the most reliable of sources) It says (which was my understanding) that he was born in Belfast and moved to Scotland later when his father was appointed to a position at Glasgow University. >From my biased perspective, he was an Ulsterman and that takes precedence over being Scottish or Irish :) -- mikerob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikerob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26220 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
