Ha! Ha! Ha!
Since you got the problem licked, Jeffrey, hope we can spare some time for  
lighted hearted homour.

I was under the impression that Colin was speaking tongue in cheek and I  
was about to reply, "The toaster - I always forget to turn the toaster  
off. Now where did I put that cup of coffee?". But like you, I think he  
may be serious in his question and the intended homour might be misplaced,  
badly, like it had been in the past.

Cheers, everyone. - Goh Lip
