You have my deepest and sincerest apologies Sascha, I will refrain from
using terminology and analogies that may cause some translational
difficulties for you. I keep forgetting that this internationally
contributing list has people of non-English speaking countries on it,
and I will bow to you request for less of the esoteric and imaginative
descriptive syntax. I would hate to upset our friends in Deutschland.

As for the clutter around your computer, I have no sympathy at all,
none, not even a little. I have a violent and physically demanding
combat session just to find my keyboard some mornings. The wife got fed
up with the mess around my computer, so she bought me a bigger desk, a
filing cabinet, shelves, cd rack, and other toys. All it's done is
encourage me to store even more near, next to and on my computer. I sit
in the corner of the living room hidden behind piles of paper, disks and
books - I suppose I really ought to get a life and tidy up occassionally
- I might be able to find things that way. :-)
