TSGL: Sgortcut icon on desktop

[John S]

All good stuff there Don.  But you didn't mention/question anything 
about probable flat batteries in the mouse :-)  You betcha it will be 
some weird and wonderful simple thing one would never dream of.

More importantly how come your PC's clock is so far ahead of the rest of 
the world.  Didn't Qld get 31-days last month?  Us mexicans south of the 
border already know you northerners have a lot of catching up to do (so 
the joke goes) but jumping a full day at a time is a bit much !!!  Can't 
wait till probably next season when you guys trial daylight saving - 
we're grinning already.  Have you heard the story about,  "when one goes 
up to Qld not only do you have to turn your clocks back one hour you 
have to also turn....." - nah I better not :-)
