Sorry - thought this was a bit funny (I am easily amused at this time of night)..snip from add for GPS on eBay

"Precis with 3 meters RMS (2d) *, their great sensitivity allows a use under light vegetable cover."

Not sure of other peoples requirements, but if it stops working under more that two or three carrots Im not interested!

Cheers
Greg

I'm still rotate on lower level with comedy relief.

I particularly like:

"screen FSTN offers a very strong contrast and does not hesitate to post characters approximately"

and

"FlashRom technology: you keep, without the assistance of pile lithium, all your information during 100 years."

On what angle of the vegetable pile are you approximately referencing?

An unfortunate fact of life is that these are the types who write software documentation. :(

The unfortunate side effect of this (for me), is that my wife thinks I'm an idiot, as I'm in fits of laughter!! :D

Some people just don't get it!

"angle of the vegetable pile" ???

Is that similar to the description in the ad "...treasurer out of piles" :D :D

Or that a reference to Peter Costello?

I have a guvment job and I reckon working under vegetables is no big deal, after all we elect new ones every 3 years....
