I remember, a long long time ago (about 13 years, IIRC), that a friend of mine bought a "computing beast": a 386dx 40Mhz, with 127MB HDD. My comment when he told me: "127MB? What are you going to put there? You will never fill it!" Times are a'changing, they say :-) BTW (and to save the offtopic), that "a+<verb in gerund>" thing that I've seen many times in english is something that I don't understand :-m Where does it come from?

World Domination! :-) Which can be turned into a translation exercise; in Unahoban: "Etanna u'Ish!" (/e'tAn:nA u:iS/) "Etanna" = "etan" (verb, root, "to rule") + "-na" ("action of <noun>") "u" = contracted form of "und", "of the" "Ish" = "world, land" -- Roberto Suarez Soto
