I'm just glad that Orville and Wilbur weren't hounded about the horrific 
injuries caused by plane crashes, one fateful day on the dunes at 
Kittyhawk. Humans are by nature curious and inventive critters. For all 
we know, Tony may well end up accidently discovering the cure for cancer 
while tinkering around with his microwave.

There are fundamental, instinctive precautions that - when followed - 
render even a 10000000000% dangerous microwave completely harmless to 
pull apart and play with. And therefore totally receptive to being 
turned into a cancer-curing device. Obviously if this were a Windows 
discussion group, all warnings would be very well-founded. But 
versatility, curiosity,  and responsibility for our own actions are also 
what drew us to Linux in the first place.

If you need any help trying to configure the device for wireless keyhole 
surgery, Tony, just let me know and I'll bring some bluetac and hammers 
around ;)

fair enough, in the bin it goes unless some electrically competent bloke

But
I just have to query
- your 10,000% certainty
Are you absolutely sure? Really sure?
I mean
- is there some Vice Presidential way to understand, by a Factor of 100, 
a certainty that much more than the sum of the whole 100%, of Stephens?

We should be told, just how you conceive of this amazing feat of 
intellectual perception, you know!
