Nicki - I agree (and me too!) When I was in Frankfurt for a school exchange, the German English teacher (she was German, the subject was English) refused to accept that 'smart' means anything other than 'intelligent'. Any attempts on my part to explain that in England 'smart' means 'well dressed' rather than 'bright' met with scathing contempt.

Of course, since then we've become homogonised through US TV shows to such a degree that these days I wonder if the kids realise that 'smart' can be used in other ways than to denote IQ or cunning.

And to get back to the subject at hand - nice job on the Colour interface, Jim!

(Cliff, I think the others were teasing you over the excessive use of capitals rather than missing letters - check the title bar of the original screen shot!)
