Anyone any idea on how it became to be known as Boxing Day? Dave -- I've heard two possibilities (both are similar in nature): 1. Churches opened the poor boxes on St. Stephan's Day to distribute the alms to the poor. 2. In Medieval days, the wealthy would place foods and other goods into boxes to distribute to the poor. No -- it doesn't refer to getting rid of all the boxes and trash left over from opening Christmas presents. Nor does it have anything to do with pugilism.

We wupped those part timers How consistant is that score!Dave -- I think it demonstrates that we have around 380 systems running 24/7 as a consistant base on the team. Our scores that come in higher show the addition of PC's at work which may get shut down for weekends and holidays. |

Both sound like great idea's Dave.
----------------------------------------You see you learn something new every day on the MOT Thread and your vocabulary gets extended. First it was Horology from Graham and now if you feel like bopping someone you can exercise the fine art of pugilism I thought it might be a non-conformist protestant movement until I checked with Google  |
