Programmers seem to have a "funny" sense of humour. I remember reading a report about a book in the old PC Magazine; I don't remember if it was undocumented windows or undocumented dos.

I know it is there, but I don't know where my notes about it are. I tried
the wikipedia, no luck

Perhaps searching my sent email for some years back... hold on.

Copy and paste from the email Mike, they both still work as James mentioned. At first, I couldn't get the invaders to work, I just got a "say what?" to come back in the cell, but then it did. Invaders is a bit slow play, but still fun and the tictactoe is just that. It's always the same. :-) have fun! bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had done that, but in both cases had neglected to include the leading "=". I tried it again just now and yep, it does work.

I think this is terrible. To make a small child think that God is crying because of some small "sin" that the child may have committed is unconscionable. The child would have to be pretty small to accept something like this, and would certainly not be of an age to be responsible for sins, which the Church seems to accept as being about 7 years of age. Such a thing would very likely turn the child off from religion altogether, if he should remember it when older. --Doug, Lector, St. Anthony of Padua Church, Rocky Point, New York -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Doug, It sounds like you possibly did not realize that was a joke. It comes from "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey," which were featured for several years on Saturday Night Live. That was always one of my favorites. Another of my favorites was "I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it." Ha, don't get me started! Search Google and you will find tons of sites with Deep Thoughts collections.

Doug: Its an unwritten rule of the internet, you do not take issue with someone's tag line. Half of them are inside jokes, most of the the others are bait. You bit. Your tag line from now on should be: "I think this is terrible". -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I dunno... I told the above-referenced quote to my six-year-old and he about fell over laughing. I then told him it was an off-topic post from the SUSE-specific mailing list and he all-but banished me to the Forbidden Zone. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

They do in build 2.0.2.15 of suse 10.1, I tried this morning. And they did in 2003. You probably need Java, I think. I tried a second time now, and I get "oh no, not again!" in the cell. It's choosy.
