Nothing like shop talk to distinguish the "in house crowd" from the "out house crowd". Let us be thankful the explanation was not in Latin. For some people, even mentioning "XP" leaves them wondering...
We do love to marvel at our own techy talk.

As for John's previous question, where he asked me to look up "GALUMPHING", here is a collection of lines that have that word:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"galumph" - Ignoring Case differences:
====================================================


---------- SA\SACH14.TXT
"Let's galumph," said Roger.
Galumphing, which is partly jumping and partly galloping,
John galumphed half-heartedly. Ought he to have told the two
Swallows had concluded a solemn alliance. He galumphed half-
heartedly. But even though he was not galumphing with heart
through the trees, and on that account her galumphing could
hardly be called galumphing at all.
She came last down the track and found that the galumphing
There was no answer but the sound of galumphing feet far
The noise of galumphing stopped. She blew it again.


---------- SD\SDCH23.TXT

---------- SD\SDCH29.TXT
have made the able-seaman galumph, if only the fog had not been

================================================

John,
