Well, it used to be with a Sony Viao, but I believe he's recently got a new one. Maybe he can't work it very well. Waterlogged perhaps?

I recently watched the movie Diminished Capacity - I think that was the title - the one with Alan Alda. In it he has a typewritter at the end of a pier - the fish pull on the strings attached to different letters and type out poetry.

Looks like it is worth a try.

I wasn't thinking of  ..0 when I raised this question. (I know he emails now and again.)

It was just a thought that had been troubling me. I know they can't talk. They don't write to each other. But there must be times when, a halibut for example, is itching to tell a mate about something he's just seen or done.

I've seen fish communicating, and it's confined to mouthing "bob" at each other.

I think this is what's been holding them back.

"Like shark follow me".

So Peter can't get his head around straightforward spelling and grammar, but knows that sharks communicate with their fins.... Hmmmm..... Indeed, Watson, this is a three pipe problem...
