TC --

I'm highly offended that you would put such an obvious tribute to Microsoft on the front of your book.

Let's face it:

That's a woman pounding a way on a horse shoe. Horse shoes go on horses to protect their hooves. We know that many girls and women love horses. Shoeing your own horse is a powerful expression of that love, taking time and sweat to take care of your horse. You really can't have a horse worth shoeing unless that horse has a hindquarters. And when you're talking horses' rears...

I think you're stretching Dino. Microsoft isn't a horse's rear. They're an entire ass (equus asinus, according to Wikipedia).

Now you owe me a keyboard AND a monitor. An impeccable chain of logic worthy of Mr. Spock himself!

Dino probably owes several kb's and monitors by now.

Not to mention laptops, cell phones, and an Audi R6.

Keep the Audi- a Range Rover would be nice.

Dino might owe me a new laptop from my spitting a mouth full of coffee all over it while reading his thread starter.

Your hilarious Dino!

Make that Audi a Fiat 500, since the latter runs on MS Windows - the project is called "Blue & ME" (really, not kidding!), probably referring to BSOD and WinME?

BTW Carla, your book is available in my country, and only 35 Euro's! A good reason to give myself a Christmas-present (Santa 'leaves' 5 December in my country, so that's too late).
