The mechanic thought I had automotive munchausen's by proxy. He drove the car around this morning and it behaved impeccably. We swapped seats and cough! sputter! lurch! the Golf had its usual misfire, complete with manically flashing check engine light for emphasis. "Shizer", he said. "It's misfiring on a different cylinder this time".

See, it really IS just me. And Paul. Clearly the Golf senses our lack of teutonicness and is punishing us. Stupid car. Too many computers anyway.

In my network drives list there's a pretty stunning illustration of how far we've come in the last 4 years, as all my machines are clustered together.

Zuess_______4.6Gb______780Mb free.
Seuss______46Gb______12Gb free.
Xeuss_____460Gb______65Gb free.

I wonder if I can convince Glenn to spec my new machine with 4.6Tb? (Regardless of how much storage it has, it will be called 'Shues'.)
