OK, then back to the fruits and vegetables, which rot when left sitting around and need to be replaced before then. I propose -TOMATO as its the favorite of rotten fruit throwers. Or -EGG for that which isn't ready to hatch yet (isn't that what we are really talking about, that iffy place between -STABLE and -RELEASE?) and then we could say of the one who broke it, has -EGG on his face? I'm getting too silly for -STABLE. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
