Without any further explanation, I hope it's clear ;)

First of all, thanks for the info TM, wowie :D Second, I was trying to trigger something else (hoped bold would help) → Question → answer → (IT related) question, starting with the last letter from the answer to question 1.......

Now: Explain.......computer system → just formulate a correct answer and start a new (IT related) question with the last letter from the answer..Phew

Sorry if I'm bothering you guys...maybe I shouldn't have started this :D
