Thanks Billy, I'll consult with my advisers here. It's funny though, the
*negative* impressions one (me) forms of someone whose emails one can't
immediately read. Pain in the neck. Show-off. Nonconformist among
nonconformists. What is the clothes equivalent of my impression of
Billy's posts? The Button King? The other thing is: the touching and
trustful relationship we have with our computer/programs. Not only do
they convey our words with utter transparency but they do it with that
early twenty-first century verve, without false etiquette. Gotta go,
Mairead
