Err you know, if they made an extra-large black briefcase that also doubled as a 1-passenger car, some fool would complain it was too large to open at their desk |

| wizbones 2003-02-05 17:36:01 | Are they really talking about removing eszett from the language? Why is that I wonder. I always thought it was a cool symbol myself. Guess if they do you'd have it all to your self  ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-02-05 17:38:22 | Oh so 'eszett' is the name for that beta-looking symbol. Unfortunately with that ambiguity you'll get a load of people calling you "beta" when you sign in with the symbol. Think of another one.

| wizbones 2003-02-05 18:42:52 | Never knew that, hey learn something new everyday. Guess if you can live with it go for it, otherwise it's back to the drawing board. ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
