I was at a client site in Rome, using my fifth keyoboard layout for the month, trying to write a little perl. It took a half hour to track down somebody in the office who knew how to make a tilde. ~. Or it may have been another symbol. Ten different people were asked, none knew. grrr. Of course part of the problem was my lack of Italian, and many humourous hand signals trying to explain what bit of weird punctuation I needed. The weirdest thing about the office was seeing an ashtray on top of a Sun 4500. The espresso was great too. -- mike Asked why the right wing despises him so, the former president answered simply, "Because I won."
