I have a very strong feeling that Steve Dower has *NOT* incorporated 
some kind of random number generator into the Python 3.5 installer such 
that weird versions of everything get scattered over a hard drive like 
confetti at a wedding.  If he had of done so I might well have had a 
word. The old lags know what I'm like, but for the benefit of the new 
lags, when I'm having a bad hair day, having got out of bed on the wrong 
side, it most certainly would *NOT* have been quiet.  Please also be 
aware that my bark is roughly one trillion times worse than my bite.
