Dell never take us out for lunch. Aaah yes the much predicted death of the mainframe... after 20 years I'm sure it'll happen soon JL also still waiting but not too worried if it does

I just noticed that you actually said "generically" and not "generally". Can we pretend you said "generally" ??? That way it all still makes sense. If not, then can I suggest that in fact you SHOULD have said "generally", because popaganda takes many forms and the form you described is only one of many? There, I knew it would be all right. Goodnight... Onya bike... Gerry

Gerry there are a lot of people who might make a socialist out of me, but at the going rate you're not one of them. The part where you start coming up with rational argument is the part where you start having influence over my view point, until then... > But not till you realise what > is wrong with the globalised capitalism. Well, do tell, we're all still waiting... > But we are patient... Good to hear, given I have a good 20 years on you, you may well die first, maybe you should consider sharpening your rhetoric instead of hoping for attrition by time > You're still young... Not really, I'm old enough not to be easily swayed, and even the naive wouldn't be swayed by your attempts to date. > And impressionable... Not likely. > And probably still thinking with your penis... Probably true, most blokes do. It's the way society works, we're programmed to do the things that improve our chances of reproducing, bloody conquests, rendering opponents limb from limb, that sort of thing. Apparently it impresses the ladies and reduces the competition or something. JL |
