   Hi! Alexander,   
      
   On Wed, 09 Apr 14, you wrote to me:

   It would be nice, yes.  I'm continually fascinated by the one I have installed   
   on my wife's computer.  It constantly provides 'update' notification pop-ups,   
   following an update of its virus signature file thingies, accompanied by an   
   audio sample of a lady telling me/us that the update had been done.  Quite   
   nice, and it's close to what you were interested in.  It also keeps track of   
   any updates required for system software as well, such as the Adobe Flash   
   player.   
      
    PQ>> had in mind that there could be other forms of forge-ing. I. e. art   
    PQ>> forgery or banknote forgery, or jewellery forgery, etc. I had an urge   
    PQ>> to ask, you see.   
      
    ak> So, what should I have said instead of "forging plant" to be   
    ak> understood well?   
      
   No.  No correction required, Alexander.  I thought there was something new for   
   me to learn from you, so I just had to ask lest I miss the opportunity.  Thank   
   you.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
