NOTE (to nannies): replying on top - for simplicity -- and I forget  
if we can do not-plain-text. Below, I enboldened the key parts,  
leaving the rest for context.

Anyway, these first few lines are still plain-text -- and provides  
Lyle and others with answer.


correction to my prior answer (which is below). Explanation is at end  
of my message (quoted below)

Here's the link:

 Bruce  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (of course) ;-) and
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  gave the correct answer.

 Been There Done That. Have The T-Shirt.

 The entire thing (both sentences) is used together. Acronymfinder may
 have it as one word: BTDTHTTS, but it is easier to understand as two.

 Thanks, guys, for answering Lyle. I had not had a chance.  (Unless
 someone lends me a laptop, I'll be absent for a while when this baby
 goes in for repairs.)  Yeah, it's stuff I can't/won't do. (Even so,
 when prior repairs done, they forgot to do one requested thing, so,
 promised me that when I was readt to swap the drive (now/soon),
 they'd do requested task they had forgotten to do -- and not charge
 me bench fee for opening it again.  Er, ah, THIS time, I will insist
 they use the correct screwdriver -- even if I have to provide it ; I
 might even buy a set of screws -- as I can trace current problems to
 a screw having fallen out. Gee, I should have suspected something
 like that when they thought (even after the fact) that opening a
 Titanium was no big deal.  :-)  There's someone here who can say
 NTDT.GTTS. of this one.  Oops, goes to show you that have can be
 got ? Maybe that acronym exists. :-)

 Sorry about topic change - but, this doesn't need further
 discussion, AFAIK.

 J.
