you could of course just go for instant gratification, and go out and
buy one of the tubes of Cadbury's chocolate 'Snaps'

a) In order to ingratiate myself with all parties, I'll do both.

b) Can any of you hardware experts recommend a modem that will download
chocolate oranges?

You can't simply download Chocolate Oranges, you need to use something 
like Bit
Torrent.  That way you can obtain individual segments which you can then 
rebuild
into a complete luscious, scrummy whole.

Alternatively, you could use something more specialised, like Jigdo, to always 
have the latest (and best) mix of the Chocolate Orange to hand. 

(See [0] to learn what jigdo is)

Q. Why should people bottom post?

 Wandering off at a tangent? We never _ever_ do that! ;)
 /me thinks about breaking open a chocolate orange...
  
 Ah, tap and unwrap. I can taste it now :-)
  but the instructions now say strike not tap 

 
 Its more like smash on a hard surface, with great relish. At least, thats how 
 I break mine...

Thanks for the welcome guys!

(This message probably isn't going to help in the whole top/bottom post
thing at all.)

 Welcome to the group - as you've been a lurker for a little while now
 we'll expect full participation in all areas - especially those that
 go wandering off at tangent!

I'm sure I will be participating as fully as I can. Especially the
tangents, I love a good tangent me. Can be messy to peal sometimes tho.

 What languages do you work in, if you don't mind me asking?

The usual suspects, I suppose. CSS, (X)HTML, PHP/MySQL and a bit of
Javascript. Although Javascript is not really  one of my strong points.
I seem to have got a reputation at my current employers for producing
good CSS-based, accessible and structured layouts. Well, that, and a
fair amount of moaning at the designer lol!

All hail Chocolate Oranges!!

On a side note, it might just be me, but I dont think Chocolate Oranges
will mix to well with a Flame War.

So I would like to suggest a brief ceasefire, so that all innocent
Chocolate Oranges may be moved a safe distance away from the arena.

Especially as melted Chocolate Orange in the arena, potentially causes a
clear and present danger to any non-combatant chocoholics in the
vicinity.
