For those of you who don't get to pass through our lounge room occasionally going upstairs from the kitchen to the computer and therefore don't get the opportunity to glimpse Australian television you have missed a commercial that has become part of the Australian culture.
Scene 1 The new Yellow Pages arrives on the Nurse Cratchett look alike's desk. She thumbs to where her entry should be and frowns, flicking back and forth from page to page as she calls out enquiringly in a voice that drips evil thinly veiled with honey: "Jan, you _did_ remember to get our entry in for the Yellow pages, didn't you?" Scene 2 Jan looks like a startled gazelle catching a whiff of close lion, reaches for her handbag and scurries for the door. Scene 3 Nurse Cratchett look-alike rises from desk, goes to door to Jan's office, sees her absent, moves to window to see Jan two floors below, scurrying along far side of quadrangle. Pushes window outwards and bellows, "NOT. HAPPY. JAN!!!" So anyway, that was a long intro to the fact that I just experienced the R:BASE "closing" then reappearing trick spoken of yesterday. I don't know whether it is contagion of bugs by learning of them.... I had R:BASE open (and Eudora, minimised) and ran my programmer app to zip out to NoteTab Pro to edit an app file. R:BASE closed, I edited the file and on closing NoteTab instead of returning to R:Base as it normally does there was nil, nix, nothing, zippo. Conspicuous absence of R:BASE, even. Double clicked the R:BASE icon, did the same thing and got the same result. Clicked on Eudora and it had hung. Closed Eudora and symptoms disappeared.
