I bought my second calculator about 25 years ago and it is a Sharp. It still barely works with the original battery, but the display is very weak on cold Alaska mornings and I have to warm it up on top of my monitor. So Mike is right, the computer is a toaster!!! <ggg>

Jay, add "incoherent thought" to the list in my writing style. I've made a small change to make this make sense: <...At that industrial revolution zenith, the computer, communications, cyberspace revolution took over, after bubbling away in the background; literally the dark rooms in the basement of engineering school in Auckland and similar places around the world, with people punching cards in Fortran IV, booking time to run their programmes on computers which seemed impressive then, costing millions, huge roomsfull of hardware, but which are a pathetic joke compared with what I have sitting on my lap right now. > I think that makes sense. Some toaster! PLH, Mq

Hi Maurice, Even more brilliant. Thanks. So, while matters are improving when measured on the time scale you are talking about, and I understand you believ, apparently, that the market cannot be timed, will you trim your holdings now, in fear, or later, in terror, or after that, in panic? Chugs, Jay
