I would like to publicly apologize to the list for my four-times over use of the word 'folder' in this last email. What I really meant was 'directory'. This is one area in my life where I sometimes slip up due to my years of captivity in the world of MS Windows. I hope you can understand and forgive me whilst I continue in my struggle to escape the black hand that stretches forth from Redmond engulfing the world in its deceptive, mind-numbing cloud of darkness, ever twisting the never-suspecting minds of the innocent to its way of thinking. Hmm, sounds a little like the Matrix.
