DUNDEE MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL A visitor to our stand left a glasses case. Unfortunately there is no name on it. If he subscribed to this Newsletter, he can apply have it back! WINDOWS EXPLORER VERSUS THUNDERBIRD Earlier this month, I had my first problem with Thunderbird and I could not send a Newsletter for December so I reverted to Windows Explorer. Oh dear! It was a disaster. Given a clear head a few days later, I easily fixed the Thunderbird problem with some web help but the result of moving back to Windows Explorer meant that some users got several copies of the Newsletter and many users got none. Apologies for this; I will stop using Windows Explorer even in extremis. Walk long and safely.

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. One day they met up and discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. The first said, "I built a big house for our mother." The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled and said, "I can top both of you. You remember how Mum enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well any more. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mummy just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it." Soon thereafter, the mother sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote to one son, "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house." "Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel any more. I spend most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!" "Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "you have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious!"
