Exactly! (Sorry, Peter). I like oxymorons - "appear invisible",
"climb down" and, as the late great W.C. Fields once said, "The
best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep" ...
I'll get me 'at ...

p.s. I think that FrankT should explain the Monty Python
connection for those of us of the great unwashed who have
absolutely no idea what he was talking about!

What Peter means is an oxymoron - like "Military Intelligence" or
"Microsoft Works". The words are opposites. From the Greek
'light/dark'. ;-)

"Was it a rat I saw?" is a palindrome. "low cost ink replacement"
backwards, reads "tnemecalper kni tsoc wol" ... ??

Low cost ink replacement is a palindrome, Gerry.
I have or have had as many as 6 printers connected to my PCs,
because of
my work, but nowadays, I rarely print my manuals - I supply them
elctronically. I have looked at printers and ink a lot over the
years
therefore.
I bought a printer (HP1000) from Staples 4 weeks ago for £19.99.
It is
brilliant. Very simple - absolutely no buttons apart from an
on/off
switch, fast and good quality for printing text and general
graphics. I
don't print photos - Boots can do it far cheaper.
The printer replaces an HP5600 of which I once had two - excellent
machines which lasted about 9 yers before I gave one away as
supernumery
last year, and the other one stopped accepting refilled cartridges
about
2 months ago (but I suspect the cartridge refiller's stock of 56
and 57
cartridges were getting very tired after nine years of being
recycled).
Of course replacement cartridges for the HP1000 will cost twice
the cost
of the printer and more. As I said - a palindrome.
Peter
