Glad you got past it! Too bad the issue couldn't be nailed down, bugged, |
| 15 |
and fixed, but sometimes that happens. It's frustrating in a way, |
| 16 |
particularly for those of us who like to think of the computer as a |
| 17 |
deterministic black box, put certain inputs in and you get certain outputs |
| 18 |
out, as the bug hasn't been fixed, but the deterministic computer is |
| 19 |
theory not always reality, and knowing that, it's livable frustration, |
| 20 |
particularly when it's relieving in another, because one got past it. |

OT: Sometimes I wonder at the number of clauses my sentences develop and |
| 23 |
whether anyone can make sense of the relationships but me. =8^) That |
| 24 |
last sentence above... |
