=Hmm, a comparison between George LEIGH Mallory and Basil Fawlty ??? =Mallory would be an unfortunate comparison to the prospect of running SQL on a PlayStation! He felt that the use of oxygen equipment was somehow "unsporting". Nevertheless when he did use it, he persisted in using notoriously ineffective equipment. There was evidence at the last camp site, that they were still fiddling with the gear even as they departed on their final dash for the summit. Then comes the question: did they make it? =Equal to the anecdote about "because it is there", Mallory has also been used to provide other 'inspiration' - his project management/preparation for the task was notoriously lacking - to the extent that he had to borrow someone else's camera in order that he might record his success*** =Meantime Ed Hillary fronts an organisation that has stated amongst its objectives the intent to get kids 'unstuck' from their computer games and taking part in outdoor activity challenges/training. Makes one think about planning a project to port to PS/2 doesn't it? =dn *** said item being of particular interest to those seeking to disprove that New Zealand/Nepal were the first countries to the 'top of the world' (in favor of England)! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
