In America this hilarity goes on all day. But it gets
significantly harder to fool someone after about
lunch time. You have to work a LOT harder at it.

The easy pickings are the ol' cellophane over
the toilet joke for the groggy teenager, just
getting out of bed in the morning.

Cheers,

David

Wow! I've also heard of people talking about "Ruby on Rails". That
lady must really get around!

For the time being, yes. But I just got back
from an all-hands meeting and apparently Coyote
has plans to make part of the site "restricted"
to paying customers only. Something about "Ruby
on the rails". I told him I wasn't interested in
hearing any more about his girlfriends, thank
you very much! I'm not in a very good mood this
morning. :-(

Cheers,

David

Congratulations! Your guide and tools are really helpful to me.
My poor English cannot describe my appreciation fully.
By the way, are the resources, I mean tips and IDL programs, still
open to others?
