Just wanted to apologize for not making too many comments on some of yesterday's entries, as my computer crashed and it took a while to get back running. Usually Macs are pretty reliable and not prone to Virius. But just like the little girl with the curl, "when they are good, they are very very good, but when they die, life's a beach, eh…" - Allan #129062

Nice one, Allan! - Jan S.

And unfortunately, on a somewhat sadder note, we learned of the passing today of "Hammy Hamster's Toronto Daddy". The animal kingdom may never be the same again, eh… - Allan
