Thank you kindly. I've now done it and the table has worked. I printed on a new laserjet and it worked fine but i'm unsure if it would normally work from the GOO skin as it's white text. Alabasta should work fine.

What about setting up a data input formon the results page?

I'm hoping to get there today. Work has been crazy and my ISP at home has been giving me fits all week! ;-(

I'll try. It sounds like a good idea though!

And it's brilliant as allways, it is great to have a handy 'what's on' to read, I don't know if I've linked it on the H2G2AS site I'll see.

You may even like to link the AS, though would you like a slightly smaller logo, as I can add a smaller one if you'd like?

Forcing me to update the update eh? Yeah. If you've got a smaller logo, that would be great. I'll link to it in the morning - I promise! I was over there today.

Did you see that entry on the front page about the Life and Times of the Sun? What a train wreck! Joanna has covered most of that in other entries. Hmm...

No, I haven't seen a newspaper since I've been at Uni.

I'll try to get a smaller one pu up but I may not be able to tomorrow morn.

Oh no then I missed that completely, do you have the address, or is it still there?

I'll go back to my PC now and upload the smaller icon (I'm using the Uni's comps ATM)

Commies from outer-space

its a pollution in every meaning of the word and its a real shame that, more than not just being able to see stars, but star gazing is the oldest practice for us hunter gatherers. With the pollution we have preventing are children from remembering we will disconnect ourselves from our history and the history of science.
We first started questioning and messuring this world when we began to study the routines of the stars and planets (in
ancient times known as the wonderers) . Each had a pattern with extreamly long periods of time their span. By this, our first and only tools then to messure time, we began to asses and predict the seasons. The harvest moon, first full of the fall equinox allowed work to be done for the crop grower at night by the light of the moon.
But, alas, things are different; no more using stars to guide your ship to other new and exotic lands. Now we have global positioning. Which is fine and handy but if the world went through a sudden and total change (perhaps its location in seasonal routines) how could we pick up where we left off?
Thx for indulging this note.
