Bloody 'ell, you should be shipping the stuff *out* of Wisconsin. It's
shure hard to get good beer in DC unless you hop in your car. 'tho I did
find a pub the other day that has Newcastle...ON TAP!
As a way to assuage all the blood, sweat, and tears invested in IMDISP,
I'll have a beer or two on your behalf 2nite. :o)

In San Diego try Ballast Point Special. Something like Newcastle but with
the texture of Guiness. I knew there was a good use for all that nitrogen
we have drifting around!
As for Oz, the only brand I can remember (and I can only remember about the
first 20 minutes of my three days in Perth) was Swan lager. I can't
remember if it was all that good or not. Seems we were more into quantity
than quality in those days.

I agree! It's starting to get really annoying.
BTW, last weekend at Shenandoah State park I noticed that the......oops.
Sorry.
I guess it's just comp.lang.fortran for the next month for me (plenty of
enlightenment...not *too* much amusement)

Off-topic!? What could be better related to IDL programming that looking
for ways to make us more productive and creative?

I for one am getting pretty damn tired of all the off topic
posts in this newsgroup. I think anyone doing it again should
be banned for a one month period and forced to find amusement
and enlightenment somewhere else.
Yours For On-Topic Posting,

I had some SA beer at an Outback steakhouse once...blech. Mind you the
waiter there didn't believe me when I told him the thing hanging on the
wall was a didgereedoo so for all I know, they stored the beer in the
sun for a cuppla months before serving..... :o)

Wot's the outside temperature got to do with it??

Depends on what Oz beers you use for comparison. Unfortunately most of
the stuff exported from Oz, or at least what is easily available, (e.g.
Fosters....<shudder>) tastes like what is referred to in Wisconsin
as..... well, seeing as I'm in polite company I won't elaborate, but it
wasn't kind.
Before I left Oz, the beer of choice (tastes o.k. and is cheap) was
Toohey's Red although I'm sure the beer market there has been yuppified.
The Matilda Bay brewery in WA used to make good beer - maybe they still
do (one hopes). I also have fond memories of rocking up to shows with a
slab of Castlemaine XXXX on me shoulder - one of the beers that you can
be sure no-one else will nick from the bathtub.
If in doubt, sucking down a cuppla bots of Newcastle Brown ale whilst
writing your OO IDL code in front of the telly will cure what ails ya.
:o)
