Hey! Something is wrong!

You can't fool Murphy like that... you are still to wait for the big blow :)

They are known to get a bit noisy...

Good luck!

A short story on how Murphy *will* hit on you:

I am creating this internet routing lab for students... in the lab PM I 
originally put in this line:

	This lab has been created in cooperation with Murphy.

This was of course done with my normal sense of humor. The line was removed 
from
the PM by a colleage and I did not put it back (out of lazyness). Now after the
PM is out to the students have of course several big and small problems shown
their ugly faces on us... Murphy had made a hit!

So, don't underestimate what Murphy's law migth have in store for you...

I'm off to work to solve more of those ugly things...
