LOL Pam. Yes, definitely Tompepsi-ish!

BTW, I've lost my bookmark to the story. Could you be kind enough to provide it? Thanks

The program, written in the Visual Basic language, presents the judge with multiple choice questions, such as "Did the driver stop at the red light?" or "Had the driver been drinking alcohol above the acceptable limit of the law?"...

Also way cool error messages, such as

Runtime error '430':

Sing along with me, won't you?

Braziiiiillll...

Where hearts were entertaining June

We stood beneath an amber moon

And softly murmured someday soon...

We kissed...

And clung together

Then...

Tomorrow was another day

The morning found me miles away *

With still a million things to say

Now...

When twilight dims the skies above **

Recalling thrills of our love

There's one thing I'm certain of

Return...

I will...

to old...

BRAZIIIIIIILLLLL....

Hi Nemisis-- John O'Brian is writing a novel about a man named Tompepsi. You can find the chapters now ready at the second URL. I think the BBC story about Brazil is interesting in itself but it ties in nicely with the Tompepsi story.

Brazil--a brilliant movie
