Computer bollocks

I love computers as much as i hate them. When they do what i want all is well, when they do not, well you know the story.
Much has changed since computers came into the home. But much has not. Most issues still require a long and tedious check
of everything, because you never know that by putting just one thing in caps,you can alter everything. You can run BITE etc but they only look for things that do not work. If you in your stupidity have altered something but it still works(mostly) you can be in trouble. Its a bit like if you wrote: I wander what time it is. If you ran that through spell check no issues. But you know it is the word wonder rather than wander (A note to everyone always proof read docs)

I have done this today on a very complicated bit of kit - got to get it fixed or I am in the shit.
Timtom (sc) has not noticed yet. Thankfully he knows nothing about this bit of kit , so he will not put his nose in.
Merry xmas fuckup!
