No malice intended it arrived in my e-mail at work on Friday and it made me laugh. :lol:

Sorry sGu, Mac is a very foreign language for me and I know nothing about them (I know its sad :( )

The link is to a WMF file which stands for Windows Media Video so I am not sure if there is any Mac software to play it.

Quite right too! I haven't used an Apple computer since 1984 when the Apple II I was using broke down merely because I accidently knocked the "on" switch of the Vandergraff generator sitting next to it and it discharged into the system unit several times! :roll:

I thought "if they're that flaky, I don't want to know" :P

The nearest I came to being expelled from school was when I left a fully charged Vandergraff generator on the desk for the lab assistant to put away, I still think he should have discharged it before picking it up by the balls :)

:shock: Sounds extremely painful :shock:

I used to enjoy charging up capacitors at school and leaving them around for the unwary to pick up :twisted:

OMG Cadwell! you sound EXACTLY like someone i used to go to school with! :shock:

:lol: There are a lot of us about ;) Unless you went to school in a town on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland, it's unlikely that I'm the same person ;)

Nah... I still keep in contact with that guy, he lives in Cape Town so there's no way it could've been you. :lol: :lol:

Instead of clicking on the link to play the media you have to right click ( or Control click) on the link and save it to your hard drive. You can then open the file in Media Player to play it.

I still haven't figured out why Media player won't play URL links directly via the web browser but at least the above is a way around it.

Excellent :lol: That's a relief! I wasn't looking forward to having to fake the tearful reunion/long lost pals bit with someone I probably couldn't remember ;)

I feel I should say at this point that deliberately setting out to give unsuspecting people electric shocks is a thoroughly reprehensible thing to do, not to mention dangerous, and could have serious consequences for the shocked person.

I did this when I was a foolish teenager and now know better.

So to any kids reading: * Do NOT try this at home or anywhere else * OK?

The joke is very nice ... but the acronym was maybe defined by Dan 'potatoe' Quayle ... :lol:

Best regards,

You are very kind Cadwell. You should see what we did at HS. Nasty, very nasty.

The joke is hilarious (as long as you don't live in Florida).
