A simple thinko for "off-screen" would be my vote, if this were a vote,
which it isn't. Done it many a time myself. Sheesh, and people are telling
*me* to lighten up! (Hi, Alex, sorry the notes are late again).

I really envy you guys your trip to EuroPython, it's enough to make a chap
want to live in Europe again. I wish the INS processes went a bit faster,
but about now isn't the time to start complaining.
