One hopes that there is no truth in the rumour that it was named in honour of our distinguished colleague Stuck?

I'm honoured that you think my abilities are up to such a task, especially given that I can't even secure my own PC :grin:

I don't know if this is coincidental but I opened the link above and when I closed it a got a dialog box that flashed for a moment on the screen saying that the program I was working on would be shut and the something about C+ + but I could not see the rest.

Appart from Outlook nothing was running and nothing shut?

No idea - the link in my original post has expired and is no longer available, but I have no issue with the link in my followup post. What browser are you using?
