hi peccavi how are you , " thanks for your answer , as im just around your age myself, i understand the way you were trying to explain things to him , and yes i know that he did not ask for step by step instructions, but he is going to , so i thought i would try start at the start for him , and im no expert on the eurovox , or computers" , radios is the only thing that i understand after 20 years in army.i hope you dont think that i was haveing a stab at you, because i know that you have done a lot of good work on this this web site, in a lot of categories, and i might be looking for your help in the pc zone, take care , all the best .. ps i was wrong he did get back to us.. mick

Hi Mick,

as you ask...

In truth I know nothing of Eurovox - even had to look it up to answer the poor chap.. Learning all the time...

The reference to Freudian Reference was my delight in the bizarre language of technology ( I'm 63 and have been involved with computers on and off since 1962) and take cheap pleasure from childish humor - I found the juxtaposition of Unzipping and Flashing somewhat interesting and thought it might brighten his day.

I'm sorry you found my reply not to your liking but unlike you I did actually read what he asked...

"what does flashing ur box mean,ive seen it mentioned a few times and wonder what it is can any1 enlighten me i am only a learner PLEASE"

Notice he does not ask for step by step instructions, just an explanation of terminology - so I think I answered his question relatively well. The Freudian bit was more of a postscript that might only frighten those of a very sensitive nature...

All the best to you...
