I must admit that I was more than a little apprehensive to open up any e-mail from Chris with the subject "Oops Sweetie". Nevetheless I bit the bullet, so to speak, and did so. I was appalled!!! To demand a whole year's supply of sweets. Surely Chris, the glory of knowing the answer should be sufficient reward in itself, and the offer of a cyber-candy was exceptionally generous. But then I don't know what a cyber-candy is (were they rationed?).

As candy is an American term for our sweets David I expect they were available on the black market along with the silk stockings.... ....something else I know nothing about!! ( I wasn't born then!!) And probably the nearest thing to cyber in those days was Cider which was probably rationed anyhow!!!

They were rationed according to your OS David. If you have XP you only get one lick of a cyber lolly, for 2000 and ME you need the sedative qualities of cyber pear drops and for all Win. 95 and 98 users you get bags of space dust in any colour you want for being clever enough to make the right choice!!
