      Hallo Richard!               RM> Why does he think it is a good idea to post poems in a language        RM> that most participants do not understand in this echo?              It has to do with the 0xc4 character which in latin1 is the Ä character.        This particular character doesn't exist in English so Swedish proverbs       starting with Ä were chosen instead and a queue of them was generated for       Little Mikey to post every time Digital Distortions posted it's ascii art,       which really wasn't ascii art given the non-ascii character 0xc4 which is an 8       bit character instead of 7 bit which all ascii characters are. However       Digital Distortions quit posting before the queue was emptied so it got       deleted. Also Little Mikey isn't a 'he' it is an 'it' instead. As far as I       know computers don't have genders.               RM> I am genuinely wondering.              So am I about what the fsck LATIN-1 really is. You seem to have genuinely       dodged that question.              Het leven is goed,       Maurice              ...
