2. A “International Computer Driving License”?  Sounds like something so effed up that only the UN could have dreamed it up. 

   No worries here.  The super volcano will blow us all away before something really bad happens.

4. "Now that you have passed your test, Brother Ibrahim, I wish you could see how beautiful a day it is for your first solo drive.”

   “Yes, Brother Mohammed, I feel the sun on my skin.  What it that substance you are loading in my car?  It smells like sulphur.”

   “Cordite, Brother Ibrahim. You recall your instructions?”

   “Drive staight and fast, ignore any bumps that may feel like concrete steps.”

   “You learn quickly, Brother Ibrahim. Off you go! Say hello to the (heh heh) “Girls” for me.”

6. ....the ICDL is designed for a person to ‘drive’ a computer with the same ease as they might drive a car.

   Hmmm, so there I was your honor, I had the choice between doing nothing and getting behind a computer keyboard.  Sort of like ‘let your fingers do the talking’ if you know what I mean when there was this loud knocking at my front door.  Seems the keyboard cops caught me driving my ‘puter round the internet with no license and while under the influence.

7. Next we can put them to work discovering why my emails no longer contain live links—just cut&paste ones.

8. Live links? What’s the problem, Oink?

9. Briefly, and off topic, in the BMEWS emails, where it says “click here” there’s no link, just text. Not a problem with current emails from other sources. Also occurs when using Mozilla. MY old BMEWS emails—from 2 days ago, still have live links.  It started when RonReagan’sGhost sent me a hilarious series of comments. I’ve checked and rececked my settings. Are others experiencing this?
