Hmmmm …

Well …

I’m still using Chrome. Which isn’t that bad, but I’m still annoyed about Safari crashing, yesterday.

But that’s not why we’re here, is it?

Is it?

It’s not …

Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …

Q1) 13^th February, 1633, saw who arrive in Rome, to face heresy charges, before the Inquisition? (And if no-one quotes that Monty Python sketch, I’ll be handing out meaningful looks … !)
