The true mark of a master is the ability to come up with analogies that make ane for lay people-John Doe! I remember explaining to my driver the difference between E1's and STM 1's using road lanes! Single lane=E1, Multilane=STM1, Round about=Multiplexer etc. Its a thing of beauty when they understand and start discussing different scenarios with you :-) On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 4:56 PM, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com>wrote:

Error 403, Forbidden == Water supply permanenly disconnected. Error 503, Unavailable == Water Shortage.
