Very nice Ron, although I did Shakespear at school, a Midsummer Night's 
Dream was not one of them.

I did Julius Ceaser and others I've forgotten for now.

You might be interested in my sorry '64 Bit' saga. I purchased Windows XP 
Professional 64 Bit only to discover after I opened the box that it was an 
OEM version. This wasn't stated on the Web site. Needless to say that's 
another AUD$190- down the drain.

I went ahead and purchased the full retail version of Vista Basic, which 
includes the 32 Bit and 64 Bit versions.

Well what a rip-off. In the US it retails for just under US$200-. Over here 
I'm paying AUS$369- and this is with the exchange rate standing at .94 cents 
Australian to the US$.

To make matters worse, initially I only get the 32 Bit version (Which I 
don't need; I already have Vista Home Premium 32 Bit), and I then have to go 
on-line to Microsoft's Web site and for a 'small' fee they will post me the 
64 Bit version.

Enough of my complaining!

Did you take the photo that you used as the background, in your image?

If so that was also very well done. :-)

Iron Belly in South Pacific, Earthquake Mc Goon in Lil Abner, Cigar in
Gypsy,  The Drunk in Ten Nights in a Barroom, and a few others.

Sheesh, that's a real downer.

Yes, it was the waterfalls at Cypress Garden, a big park/garden in
central Florida.  The park went under new management about four years
ago, and the new owner ripped that section out and installed a roller
coaster there.  Pity,. The new owner seems to be 'Ride' centered. 
Thing that's interesting is that I rode that roller coaster about 40
years and 400 miles away.   The picture is a joined pano, since if I'd
moved back any more, there would have been a bunch of fellow visitors
in the shot.
