PS - Could this be anything like the (describing an IRL situation) "waiting in line" vs. "waiting on line" variation? English prepositions confused about spatial metaphors?
At the risk of assisting in a diversion, English variations include waiting in a queue - as in documents waiting in a print queue. My computer may be on line, but probably not in line or in a line. ===== Dominic Pinto e-m dominic.pinto@ieee.org M: +44 780 302-8268 Ph/Fax: +44 207 379-8341
