yogestee "my posts can be a little colourful"  More info | Possibly related or not.. I asked a golfing buddy of mine why there are 18 holes on a golf course.. Apparently as my friend explained, years ago when golf was in it's infancy the winner would take a dram of whisky after winning the hole.. It appears there were exactly 18 drams to the bottle.. One has to laugh at the Scot's logic.. Jurgen

Next you'll be claiming you actually got a SWTPC system that worked.  Well, I wouldn't go that far. I did develop fiberoptic RS-232 links back in the early 80s, though.

Make perfect sense to me, assuming, of course, that golf makes any sense at all in the first place.

Your obsession with the name Bob reminds me of one of his Blackadder episodes wherein a young farmer's daughter called Katherine comes to London Town looking for honest employment as a house "lad", working for Mr.B.
