Dear me! I thought you would have been asleep and I woud be able to sneak in without being noticed!
* Nice of you to take my absent-mindedness so easy! ( At school, the pupils know about it and I always have one who keeps an eye on my keys, my piece of chalk etc.../ I am used to joking about that : 'that's old age you see, ....er...but I was already absent-minded when I was a little girl. It's helpless!' )
(The little birds have started singing...though it's still dark: time for a cup of coffee) HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Bonjour Jardin
Don't worry you have forgotten about list below.
I like your exercise and it's very interesting. You've got some funny ideas and jokes about everything . That's great.
Réponse: Know your computer? (voc) de jardin62, postée le 14-03-2005 à 19:34:33 (S | E)
Thanks a lot felin! Does your computer work more efficiently now that he knows that you know him better?
- By the way, have you got a laptop computer?
- As for me, I haven't! That's better or I would bring it with me everywhere, and try to find little silly exercises to make some people suffer !
- You know what? I had to read the instructions on the notice ( in ENGLISH!) before writing the exercise...: RAM , MEGABYTE etc.
- 'Crazy, isn't it?' See you on the NET!
