      Congratulations, Dave!
      By the way, do you know that your "eh" is typically Canadian? There's been so
      many jokes about the "eh" at the end of the sentence I lose count. In fact,
      very few Candians like to use it. Is it typical of British English perhaps?

      Keep it up, Dave. Nice going!

        Well, it's used in British English to add some kind of humorous import to the
        end of a sentence, and it wouldn't have that nuance if it were overused.

        That was me getting used to the new laptop. As I pointed out to you my old one
        was so clapped out I had to get a new one.

        I pressed the return key when I didn't mean to.

        The real 1600th post is now, ironically enough the 1601st post.

        Or maybe the 1602nd, since you got in fast after.

          Well, I think it was about time for you to get yourself a better "puter".Lap
          tops are still a bit pricey here but if you are on the road a lot, you
          certainly need one. Hopefully now you won't be disappearing from here without
          sending a note or two.

            This has wireless gubbinses but I haven't worked out how to use it yet.
