From Tech Support Alert
(highly recomended web site)

Originally written by Olivier Ramillon Thank you ever so much, Nikita, if you don't mind, I have a bronze statue, 5 m tall, installed in my garden, to show my devotion

Oh, thanx Olivier,

Is it something like the one below? Showing a way to the bright future of the mankind?

But we all do know how it ends up:

I'm happy that my posting was useful for somebody. I for one use a lot of freeware doing the job perfectly.

From my side I would like to express my sincere gratitude to a nice guy called Ian Richards a.k.a. Gizmo who is the author of this list. He runs the Tech Support Alert web site, a highly recommendable resource of computer knowledge.

Hi folks,
