"Help" from little fingers

Hi, saw you were on-line so have dropped in for a chat. I'll pass on the cake (have to watch sugar content) but wouldn't mind a cup of tea. Are you sure that not even half of your kids are old enough?
Twenty years ago, the physics dept at the Uni of Lesotho got it's first desk-top. So naturally we all dropped in at coffee-time to play the rudimentary games that had come with it. My score at Breakout made everyone laught. When I indignantly asked how many of them could do better - "None, but your three year old can." Gordon spent quite a lot of the next couple of years going round to the Prof's house (it was a campus university) and asking if Geoff could play.
If you mean they're not old enough to look after themselves yet - one of the advantages of larger families is that the older ones amuse the younger ones, but if they refuse to do it, make the most of the baby years. They go really fast
Congratulations on the HTML. I haven't managed it yet - have always relied on a son, either mine or someone else's. Looks as though I have to do something soon, though. I've landed a nice research grant that demands it. smiley - smiley
