Instead of an error message, "Duct Tape" pops up

Hi Folks

Another quote for the beginning of another working week:

"May I examine my mind in all actions and as soon as a negative state occurs,
since it endangers myself and others, may I firmly face and avert it."
(attributed to His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Washington D.C. 1998)

OK , it may seem a little 'New Age-y' to some but I think a positive mindset is definitely needed in this day and age.
