Aust. Post have a really meaty biodegradeable red rubberband that they use for bundling mail with. They're not so good at long range (too broad), but for close fighting they can raise a really nasy welt. I have a big box on my desk if you feel you need the tactical advantage in a lightning raid... (Another good trick is to get everyone you know to go take all of their brochures; little kids are good at this, but you have to train them _not_ to come running straight back to your booth laughing and waving their spoils around, or the enemy are likely to find a vent for their anger...) > -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
