We better make a square of the right frequency then. I think we have
found the source for BJ's and mine 90/180 degree disagreement. We are
just thinking in two diffrent frequencies. I knew there where
something banal about it.

I think I got that.

 B> I have no idea on what one would use this for!!:)

It does sound a bit wierd (that is, we have yeat to find it the most
usefull thing invented ;)

Ehh... service bullentine:

BJ down for service. After fixing the pthpfftp-bug, a standard
procedure, BJ will be rebooted for your convenience and further
enligthment of life. Please stand by while I adjust the magocrapial
translator banks.

Meanwhile Magda is down for extensive and long overdue
rewiring. Expect no service for the comming 18 hours.

You non-average SyS-OP,
Kork-Orvar
