O M G!

You mean I can actually turn it off?

Honestly that had not occurred to me.* I am such an idiot.

I hang my head in shame and humiliation.

A good job I was never, well only briefly, actually employed to write a program.**

*True, it really had not occurred to me, this is not a piss-take, hence the 'face-palm' icon rather than the 'joke alert' icon.

**It was implementing an HMG flow-chart like process to assess IT systems, and the code is awful as I was writing it in C++ for Windows, because someone else in the company wanted C++ on their home computer and 'accidentally' copied the installation disks... (This was a long time ago and sadly he died recently, so please, no writs or summonses, please.)
