Well, I don't know. The whole "I'm so damned bored with swapping tapes 
over that I spend all day surfing the net" kinda points out that my 
skills are currently vastly under-utilised. OTOH, suggested that I get 
bored easily and am inclined to do stuff I'm not supposed to be doing is 
probably not a good idea... On balance, I'm unsure which side wins.

Is that how the game works? Hmm...
