[or several other variants nearer the edges of its logo, at least the version on its website. I'm a bit surprised that there is this much variation. A long time ex-employer of mine was bloody sure that its (then) new logo was Pantone Rhodamine Red: http://www.tnsglobal.com/ And yes, I think it's misnamed. Improved Engine Red would be better :-) ] Nicholas Clark

Isn't StackOverflow the cookbook we all use? For example: http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[perl]+read+directories+recursively Z.

Re: Impending arrival
I'm primarily on T Mobile both in the UK and US but the phone came from 3 for reasons that will go unexplained for now. I've had no problems with 3 in the UK and have heard Vodafone is worse.
