Thanks for your kind thoughts. Sounds like you've got a bait- hope your boss takes it! Your sentence is so true-no doubt a wordwide phenomena. Tomorrow (Tuesday)is Melbourne Cup day ,a public holiday, and it is estimated that more than 40% of the workforce are not at work this morning. Viruse is alive and well in Melbourne today! - OZZIEBOB, 2007-11-04: 17:13:00
