Title: Apologies for my absence.
Post by: Roger Kettle on September 28, 2010, 09:27:45 AM: Been battling a bug for a few days and that, combined with trying to get my work ahead for my holiday (I leave on October 7th) has meant ignoring the computer recently. I may be quietish over the next few days but will try to pop in on occasion.

A lot of programs have minor bugs. Just try to work around them. Ignoring the computer just because one of its programs has a bug seems a little excessive.

That's not really much of a speech, Diane, but it is to the point, (albeit illegal), I suppose.

Surely bugger the majority?
