Thanx for the input, guys, i appreciate it, and i'll give it my best shot.
On a sadder note, one of my wife's cousins, who grew up a street away from my parent's house, and to whom i was very close, died tragically this evening. I've just come from the scene of the accident, not 500metres from his house, at a 4way stop. He folded his bakkie around a tree so severely that cutting equipment had to be used to extricate him... Now, as much as i love him, and mourn his passing, he knew the risks of speeding, since we'd often spoken about his driving habits. I couldn't bring myself to take a few pix of what the tree looked like... Suffice it to say that a 40year old oak, at the very least 20metres in height, has been reduced to the size of a shrub. Rustin would've been married in December, just after his 24th birthday. For the love of God, plz watch your speed, guys (and Psycho and Medusa).
Medusa a chick??

yep...didn't you know? She is a relation of Kryptik..(am I right?) and all that.
Lets put it this way, at least with Psychonymphe we had the latter part of the name as clue, but in the same breath, Medusa is also a female in Greek Mythology. This is what the dictionary says:
Noun: medusa (medusae,medusas) mu'doosu
1. Any of numerous usually marine and free-swimming coelenterates that constitute the sexually reproductive forms of hydrozoans and scyphozoans
2. One of two forms that coelenterates take: is the free-swimming sexual stage in the life cycle of a coelenterate and has a gelatinous umbrella-shaped body and tentacles
Noun: Medusa mu'doosu
1. (Greek mythology) a woman transformed into a Gorgon by Athena; she was slain by Perseus
So there we have it, as the dictionary says. Now to the source:
Medusa, why that nickname? (do you have snakes growing out of your head?;-)

The dictionary says that i'm full of crap. So just so we all know... i'm a guy. Not a typical one, but a guy nonetheless. Sorry to hear about the accidents and losses. I never drive without my seatbelt. I make it a habit and request my passengers do the same. They don't seem to understand that it's not your own driving you should worry about but that of others on the road.

Most of you know that Esato is celebrating 5 years this autumn. I want to give away something to the community by sending out a W850, K800 or M600 mobile phone. I also have a couple of
Pivot Silicone Case for P990 and K610. And of course we have a huge number of Esato lanyards to give away.
I am having trouble finding a good way to organize this giveaway event...
Any ideas?

Thanx Psycho, we're managing, but the full impact will only be felt after the funeral, i think.
Wanqa, you don't say, boet? We moved along far faster than i'd anticipated!
