I spent almost 20 minutes trying to find a way to do that and still have some context in the discussion. In fact- I was trying to make it look like a complete accident. That would be the funniest instance.

It's quite all right -- we've simply let drm's avatar at the keyboard, and it's not yet produced the Shakespeare for which we've been waiting, that's all...  :P

I just had another thought (I hate to go on-topic) but-

Apple is always preaching how Windows machines crash and don't work, and so forth-

and yet, 80% of the problems of windows machines seem to be caused by Apple software!

    We're gettin' there:

    Hmm, let's see what we have so far that the chimps have produced:

    "MacBanana" the story of how a man killed the alpha male of the group to claim his Banana hoard. Three Wicked Gibbons appear throughout.

    "Hamlet" produced in Gangster Rap.

    Incomplete transcriptions of Encyclopedic "Banana" Articles

    a Tutorial on how to search for files in windows 3.1 File manager. 'and now type "BANANA.*"'


    it's just a matter of time- just gotta work the bugs, or should I say, Bananas,  out.

    You forgot "Lancelot Link:  Secret Chimp" -- an early 1970's television show during the height of the James Bond / cold war / spy craze.  Definitely a spoof of the genre.

    For your edification:  one of many LINKS (no pun intended  ;) ) about the show.

    No need to thank me...   ::)
