Let's hear it for Office!

With 3 pages left to go, Word 2000 decides to throw a little tantrum, first complaining that my drive is full (when there are only 519 MB left free), and then claiming that too many files/applications are open (Word is the only application running - besides the usual gang of background processes - but then who knows how many files it is trying to open?)

Bottom line: I resort to some fast tap-dancing to save the work since my previous successful save, but without using Word. Fortunately, there's not a lot of fancy formatting/superscripting/subscripting in this section.

Conclusion: Using Word is like boxing... you can't let your guard down for a minute.

Cheers...

One good turn...

What I did for Galina a couple of days ago I decided to do for Natalie:

НАТАЛИЯ, -и, ж.; разг. Наталья, -и.
Производные: Натальюшка; Наталя (Натала); Натаня; Натаха; Наташа; Таша; Наша; Ната; Натуля; Натуня; Натуся; Туся; Наля (Нала); Таля (Тала); Талюша; Тата; Татуся.
[Женск. к Наталий (см.).]
†8 сент.

And as for Andrew, we have:

АНДРЕЙ, -я, м.
Отч.: Андреевич, Андреевна; разг. Андреич, Андревна.
Производные: Андрейка, Андря; Андрюха; Андрюша; Андрюня.
[Греч. andreios — мужественный, храбрый.]
†27 янв., 31 мая, 5 июня, 11 июня, 15 июня, 3 июля, 13 июля, 17 июля, 22 июля, 25 июля, 17 авг., 1 сент., 19 сент., 23 сент., 4 окт., 6 окт., 15 окт., 23 окт., 30 окт., 9 нояб., 11 дек., 13 дек., 15 дек.

Now do you understand why characters in Russian literature "have so many names"?
