Re: Hi Nautikos
Greek philosophy is where it all began for us, mneme! And I know you understand - you call yourself 'mneme' for a good reason...

Hi Nautikos
This was interesting :) I like the Greeks, mainly for philosophy and ancient myths. Clever people.

Naut luv Hi. Knowing the Greeks as I do 15 hrs isn't too bad at all. One
has to arrive at the office late(too much food and Retsina the night before) Drink coffee and smoke three cigarettes. Talk on the phone for an hour. More coffee. More cigs. ....WORK.  lunch time go home for lunch and siesta(toofa) then travel back to the office. All these trips are in mind boggling traffic jams. Then at the office it's cigarettes, coffee telephone for a couple of hours ....WORK.......spend time refreshing oneself in the bathroom leave office and meet one's friends for late supper and music and dancing. time taken ......15 hours.

computer becomes at times, an unmeshed uncooperative unreadable box of gears that needs to be sunk in the deepest ocean.
