Wouldn't that be fibers, rather than threads? This thread has fibers.

Ah, yes.  This week's prize is the latest addition to our new range of 
transcendental furniture - it's an occasional table.

I think it's time to move quickly.....Concorde.  It's a shame they 
retired them.

We could break brains and say it's a "multi-fibered thread".  Or a multi-
multi-threaded process by the transitive property.

I stand by it being a multi-fibered thread. We need more fiber anyway.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water ;)

Versailles.

What a carry on with my laptop. It was refusing to boot up 4 times out of 5,
shutting down hard just after the option to enter the bios. So I reinstalled
Vista, would you believe it formatted my HDD not just the vista partition.
Luckily I saved all my Pov files (16 Gigs including meshes) to an external HDD.
Now I'm in the process of loading all the programmes I use. At least I can
winnow out the ones I installed but don't use. I bought a 1 TB external drive so
I won't have to do that again, just restore an image.
Phew!

Oooh, nice move, though it's not clear which station you're at - it 
doesn't affect my move to Porchefontaine.

OK, now we've been there, it's time to head back to England.  Let's start 
from Le Havre.

Having had problems like that with various laptops, you have my 
sympathies.
