    Spaniards complaining about dancing and music late into the night doesn't
    match my image of them as a romantic, fun-loving nation; but IANAS.

    The police did have a point, though.

    Simon,

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you prefix your web page names with
    a 'z'?

    Or has this question been asked before?

    It has been asked before. I use a z prefix for pages that are temporary.
    After a while I can collect all my webpages in a folder and click on the
    "arrange by name" tab. All of the z pages + photos will be grouped together
    so I can delete them all in one go.

    Noooo! Don't delete the web! We'll end up in a world of 404s.

    My ISP has a limit of 20MB, so I'll run out of room if I don't delete them.
    Some big files (600MB in total) I farm out to another site which makes its
    money out off offering webspace for the money it makes from the phone call.
    My ISP is a free dial up, so if I posted that newspaper clipping on the
    other site it would cost money.

    and oogle over bikes on the internet,reading what
    people like you can do with their P.C's makes me
    feel so inadequate.

    Hey, you're managing to read usenet, which is more than a lot of
    internet users are able to figure out these days. Bottom posting, too.
    I think you're putting yourself down unnecessarily.

    limitations,i frequently have to beg my friend or
    nephew to fix one thing or another for me,as
    for the bottom posting,i just copied what other
    people tend to do in this n.g.
