Why not invite her login to DC

Merciful heavens, what relationship could survive that!?! 

Come to think of it, some of our posts here would make Fred Nerd's look positively scintillating

I've heard this kind of argument before... "after all these years you don't know x,y, or z about me".

But now you're reformed, I hope.  Quickly, her favourite flower is?

Tom Rokicki's AmigaTeX was a nice implementation.  I wish I could find something as nice for Windows.  MiKTeX didn't seem as smooth but I did pour a lot of stuff through it.  The commercial versions of TeX (at least those at which I've looked) seem to be a bit expensive.  For most TeX stuff I've always found myself resorting to a lazy configuration of LaTeX, driven by a handful of external macros (which were a breeze to set up on the Amiga, using ARexx).

I have used two mice before but they were both righthanders
I was happy enough using the righthand settings with my left hand - in fact I've gotten very used to that...
anyone got any ideas there?

Or a madman. I am tempted to believe the latter with mouser

Didn't I read somewhere that it's highly correlated with faulty air conditioning?

Off the top of my head, from a cmd prompt
del /S /Y <path to Temp Folder located in Local Settings>
(leaves empty folders)

from 4NT
del /S /X /Y <path to Temp Folder located in Local Settings>
