Jim (in the dark) Muth Jim I trust your "ASAP" is not quite the same as certain software companies' "Real Soon Now", and that you are already enlightened (or should that be lit up?) Some phrases may not cross the Atlantic! Having written the above my PC responded with the blue screen of death and the message "An Error has occurred ..." ! Is this a response to my writing unkind remarks about software companies? Is it a "feature" of Windows? :-) Looking forward to the next FOTD Best wishes John -- John Lewis, jlewis@clara.net on 08/04/2002
No No No, John, you misunderstand: The Dynamic Duo reside at Fractal Central and can produce an FOTD even if Jim's off-line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lewis" <jlewis@clara.net> To: <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 1:36 PM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Alibi for a late FOTD On Sun, 4 Aug 2002 10:16:36 EDT, JimMuth@aol.com wrote:

Now this is wierd! I sat down to write, just after this message arrived...there came a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, and my machine re-booted. Honest...no kidding! Just the one incident, and in my part of the world lightning is almost as rare as frog hair. Has Jim developed a new weapon? Regarding the original note, and in view of Jim's problems, (it must be hell emptying that basement with a bucket when the power fails), maybe its time to rename the FOTD to something like FOTNEOD...Fractal of the Nearly Every Other Day. :-) JohnW ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lewis" <jlewis@clara.net> Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Alibi for a late FOTD On Sun, 4 Aug 2002 10:16:36 EDT, JimMuth@aol.com wrote:
