Re: [libreoffice-users] Error

Hi :)
There are only 10 types of people in the world

Those who think in binary,
and those who don't
(err and a bit of a grey area where logic gates might or might not have
been triggered so i guess that makes 11 types of people)

Sorry!  I know it's not a good joke so it's great to have the opportunity
to retell it!
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
