We even had special job title "anykeyshik" - junior sysadmin who       tells users where is "any key".              С наилучшими пожеланиями, Andrey       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20161221        * Origin: PC Lovers (2:5059/38)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 15/0 18/200 30/0 50/109 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/131 153/7715 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 200 307 424 426 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 266/512 280/464 5555 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1       SEEN-BY: 301/101 113 123 812 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 463/68 467/888 633/280 712/848 920/1 5001/100       SEEN-BY: 5005/49 5015/255 5020/715 830 846 1042 2047 2140 4441 5023/12       SEEN-BY: 5023/24 5034/13 5054/8 5058/104 5059/38 5064/56 5075/128       SEEN-BY: 5080/102 5083/1 444 6035/3       PATH: 5059/38 5023/24 5020/715 1042 301/1 229/426           |
