Pukka is terminology from a caveman movie with Ringo Starr and Dennis Quaid. Pukka means bad or injured. I'm feeling kind of Pukka today myself. i have never seen that film.......fortunately john and peter are right it's hindi pukka \PUHK-uh\, adjective: 1. Authentic; genuine. 2. Good of its kind; first-class. i hope you'll be feeling first class soon randy and this forum's pukka too  wormhole |

Hi John,
Look at the times of posting. A case of great minds think alike ... or fools rush in. I'm not sure which. ;D ;D.
Keep well,

Randy - can't you get the site correctness monitor to substitute 'bokeh' with 'thingy'?

Always makes me think of Tom Lehrer's famous line "...And if I'm in luck - it's broiled hockey puck..."
Never knew what broiled meant though....!!

Mickey, ugh! Somehow these puns remind me of the wonderful Dr Seuss-style computer poem someone wrote:
Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say:
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
You can't say this?
What a shame sir!
We'll find you
Another game sir.
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
