Sympathies. I know what it's like. Came back expecting a few hours before
moving on only to find that lightning had blown the modem. Bought a new
one. Spent half the night trying to make it work. No luck. Had to swop it
the next day. Exhausted.

This is a novel use of the word 'owe'. We owe you a great deal. I was
talking to some people in real life and they were saying how much they

Documentation is never fun while you are writing it, but there is a little
bit of pleasure when you have finished it and can - metaphorically - put it
in a binder.
