(note correct number of brackets - that's what excel teaches you). Anyway it's not the same Phil Spector, one is released on $1millionUS bail, the other is doing (hopefully better statistical stuff than SAS) at Berkeley, California. Now, what am I writing this stuff for - all I wanted to know was how to charge laptops. |
