Yes, Dave. But my point was that to plug in the USB you have to fiddle at the back of the PC. This is why I shall welcome the USB keyboard when it arrives.

Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here. ---------------- :0))) Final Memories of Bill After much arguing and deliberation, historians this week have come up with a phrase to describe the Clinton Era. It will be called "SEX BETWEEN THE BUSHES." The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta announced that Clinton has proven that you CAN get sex from Aides. Jennifer Flowers was asked if her relationship with Clinton was anything like Monica Lewinski's. She replied, "Close, but no cigar." The FBI has coined a technical term for the stains found on Monica's dress: "Presidue." Clinton now recruits interns from only four colleges: Morehead, Oral Roberts, Ball State and Brigham Young. Washington has come up with a solution for the Clinton situation -they added an 11th commandment: "Thou shall not! put thy rod in thy staff." Arkansas is very proud of Bill Clinton. All these women coming forward and not one is his sister! Finally, Hillary Clinton recently went to a fortune teller who intoned, "Prepare to become widow. Your husband will soon suffer a violent death!" Hillary took a deep breath and asked, "Will I be acquitted?" --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

This is what amazes me, my paternal grandparents always raised a couple of pigs and as the saying goes used everything but the whistle. Their only ailment was longevity. Take away meals for grandma was when I took a pudding basin to the local pork butchers and fetch a basin full of faggots and peas - I still remember how I was terrified incase I tripped.

Hi Vicki You were asking about Brize Norton and Carterton. Well, surprise, surprise I used to live there. My husband was stationed at Brize for 5 years in the 70's. It is still very much alive and kicking, a very important place. It is situated in Oxfordshire, but is not too far from Stratford on Avon, Shakespears birthplace. Stratford is in Warwickshire. The last time I was down there was eight years ago when I went to a funeral of the daughter of two friends. It had changed quite a lot from we lived down there, better road access etc. But I have fond memories of my time there. Hope this has answered your question.
